RE: [Cooker] Rsync or lftp?
What is the advantages of using rsync over lftp? Lftp seems to work just find mirroring Cooker. Am I missing something? rsync transfers only changed parts of files. The most notable case is hdlists; with lftp you get 15MB every time, with rsycn you get several KB (well, in order of magnitude :-). Another example is mdkinst. When new installer is uploaded all dates change an lftp loads everything; rsync checks if files were actually changed. Rsync preserves true time that may be helpful sometimes. Rsync looks generally fatser but it may be just my impression. -andrej

Hi If you have your cooker directory in /home/XXX/mandrake/cooker then you could use this command: rsync -av --delete ftp.sunet.se::Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/ /home/XXX/mandrake/cooker/ Observe the trailing /, which tells the program to copy everything in that directory. As you are to start using rsync on a wget mirror, you have better add the option --size-only. If your connection is bad and you feel that sometimes the transfer is interrupted, then it is wise to keep the partially transfered files by adding the option --partial. So you might start with: rsync -av --delete --size-only --partial ftp.sunet.se::Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/ /home/XXX/mandrake/cooker/ I always use my browser to check where on the server the desired directory is. Good luck. guran
Re: [Cooker] Rsync or lftp?
thanks a lot, now I just wonder what site I can mirror : I used to get from ftp.ciril.fr, but it refuses a rsync connection. Is ftp.sunet.se the only rsync place? /\ | José Jorge [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | TEKLYNX International http://www.teklynx.com | \/ guran [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cooker-owner@linux-macc: ndrake.com Subject: Re: [Cooker] Rsync or lftp? 29/08/2001 11:45 Please respond to cooker On Wednesday 29 August 2001 10:07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'd like to try rsync to replace my wget -m... could someone give me the command line?
