Can't fmirror security.debian.org

2003-05-05 Thread kynn



I have no problem ftp'ing to security.debian.org anonymously, but all
my attempts to fmirror a directory there fail with

  $ fmirror -f ~/security.fmirror
  11:38:51 Connecting to security.debian.org...
  11:38:51 Connected.
  11:39:52 Dir listing failed, exiting. (425 Failed to establish connection.)

What am I doing wrong?

Here's my fmirror input file (~/security.fmirror):

username: anonymous
# also tried username: ftp
password: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
host: security.debian.org
remotedir: debian-security/dists/stable/updates
localdir: /home/my_home_directory/security
include: p updates/[^/]+/binary-i386
exclude: p binary-
exclude: p debian-security/dists/[^/]+/updates/[^/]+/source

Thanks!

kynn

Have you considered trying to use rsync?  AFAIK, security.debian.org runs
an rsync server which may do what you are looking form more easily.

If you need help using rsync let me know.

I already tried that, but I can't get rsync to work:

$ rsync -avz security.debian.org::debian-security .
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(162)

I tried the exact same command line and it started to successfully
receive the file list and the grab files.  Perhaps you network has
outgoing ports blocked?  If this is the case you'll want to talk to your
network administrator.

Works fine here, you might want to check your firewall logs to see if
you're being blocked somewhere.
