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.

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.  Please cc me in any replies to this post, as I do not
currently subscribe to this list.
