I don't believe so. You might want to take a look at rsync instead. It does a very nice job of doing just what you need.
Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Kathryn Moretz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2004 4:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Kathryn Moretz Subject: Preserving file ownership I am using wget to mirror multiple directories between 2 servers via FTP. This mirroring process will be running as root in the background continuously. The directories / files are owned by different users and groups. Is there a way to preserve this ownership when files are transferred from the remote host to the local host? As it currently stands, the mirrors are owned by root:system instead of by the original owner. Thank you in advance.
