Best way to mirror remote FTP directory
 

Hello,

What is the best way to mirror remote ftp directories to a local server?

I want a scipt to execute every night, to check and download all the new files available. The remote server is not mine.

Thank you for your help!

i think rsync is what you want. i used it many years ago when i worked for an engineering company that wanted to keep firmware changes current among all their locations.

I don't know about "best" but wget can do this for you and even has a "--mirror" option.

Thank you, this is what I ended up using:

Glad to be of help. Don't forget to mark the thread as Solved.
