after downloading a bunch of files from an ftp server. i did a selection of some files from the ftp server, i got them on a dvd. i would like to update those files once in a while. is there any way to do it automatically.
if not, then how could i mirror a ftp server, but to include only a specific architecture, i want 386? how can i exclude cvs, and other architectures?

You can use wget via a cronjob to update the files you want, or even to mirror the ftp server.

Code:

man wget

for details

up to now i thought to use wget, but i did know how. let's say that iam having the file in /home/user/folderX and the ftp server is the ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/ , could you tell me how to do it? the thing is that wget will download everything from there, but i do not want the cvs builds, and the other architectures. all i want is the i386. any ideas?

You can use something like:

Code:

 wget -m -nH ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/ -X cvs,i486

After the -X switch you can list the directories you don't want to d/l (comma separated). You can also create a file with all the dirs you want to exclude. Read the man pages for more info
