Free Mirroring tools

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Free Mirroring tools

Does anybody know a good freeware or open source mirroring tool? I'm about to create some mirrors for the BLIde download, but I've never done this before.

Sounding like a noob here. Do you just want to backup your source code?

For personal issues my buddy created some easy php-scripts to mirror files... for security reasons this script has to be put on the webspace of the mirror.

Instead of doing it per web-interface you can als change to ftp (if you get ftp-access).

You just have to enter "from-Url" and the destinated filename... then the script fetches the file and places it into a specified directory (you will have to have access to it - so mainly the same directory in which the script is saved).

Waiting some seconds (depending on filesize and speed of both servers - in most cases on dedicated servers you will get about 5MB/sec) and the mirror is ready.

Should I post the script here?

rsync?

But this assumes you have certain rights on the servers...

You will have to be able to execute some commands you may not be allowed to use.

Yes, I've seen it. As currently there are only 2 mirror sites, I will make the mirroring 'by hand', but if things get bigger, I will reconsidere it.

Thanks to everybody for the infos.

Yes. But this is the case regardless.
