Spegla is a mirror program for FTP sites. It was written because I
couldn't find any fast mirroring program for big mirrors. It makes a
complete mirror of a FTP area.
Spegla only take one command-line parameter, the config file. These
parameters can be specified in it:
- localdir where the mirror should go on your machine.
- remotedir directory at the FTP server.
- username user to log in as i.e. anonymous.
- password password to use i.e. your email address.
- host FTP server.
- retries how many retries before quit. Defaults to 20.
- retrytime how many seconds to wait before log in again after
a timeout. Defaults to 150.
- timeout how many seconds to wait to timeout. Defaults to 150.
- skipdir which directories to ignore remote and local, can be
several but only one per row.
- dirlink not used for now.
- logfile logfile, can be a file, stdout or stderr. Defaults
to stdout.
Blank lines and text after '#' are ignored.
This is what's in the config file I use for the FreeBSD mirror of
Walnut Creek's FreeBSD area.
localdir = /ftp/pub/FreeBSD
remotedir = /pub/FreeBSD
username = anonymous
password = jnilsson@ludd.luth.se
host = ftp.freebsd.org
timeout = 120
retries = 300 # busy ftp server and lots of files.
# Takes lots of hours to complete
# and don't want to quit when we are
# almost finished.
retrytime = 120 # if network goes down don't consume
# all retries to fast.
logfile = freebsd.org.log
skipdir = distfiles # don't have room for this yet.
skipdir = incoming # no need for this.
