Name: mirror - Mirrors packages from remote sites

Version: 2.8

Ftp source: sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk:/packages/mirror

Description:

   Mirror is a package written in Perl that uses the ftp protocol to
   duplicate a directory hierarchy between the machine it is run on and a
   remote host.  It avoids copying files unnecessarily by comparing the
   file timestamps and sizes before transfering.  Amongst other things, it
   can optionally compress, gzip, and split files.
 
   It was written for use by archive maintainers but can be used by
   anyone wanting to transfer a lot of files over ftp.
