Wanted: Auto FTP updates on remote web site

Post by benj » Fri, 27 Nov 1998 04:00:00



Hi there! Where can I find a program which allows you to automatically
synchronize a local development tree and a remote site via FTP
only? This is for a web site I admin where I only have FTP access to the
web server. Ideally, it would notice which files/directories have
changed between updates and transfer the appropriate files to the remote
site, creating and removing directories as needed.

I saw an announcement a few months ago of an open source program which
does this, but now I cannot find it anywhere. Please point me in the
right direction. Thanks!

Try wget.  Here is the page you want if you do not have the package already:
