Software for mirror files.

[Francisco J. Soler]

Hi all, i need to make a mirror of some files from one server to another one (both with linux), Is there some software to do that?. How can i do this task automatically.

Thanks.
Frank.

Some commands to look at:

rdist
rsync

There is also a perl script called 'mirror' floating about of which does a similar thing, but is designed for whole FTP sites.

Your best bet on any modern release is 'rsync'. It uses can use SSH as a transport, and can be easily scripted, and then run from cron.

rsync is the best bet. also, had seen on a mailing list something called sitecopy.

And command would be :
rsync /here/* remote:dest/
to copy all the files from the /here directory to the /dest directory on machine named 'remote'.
