Just back from vacation:
I assume you have ftp-access to your remote site.
If you use "mirror", you have the option of instead of mirroring a remote
site to your site.
Here is an example:
package=debupdatesend
site=mail.remote.dom
local_dir=/huge/debian/dists/slink/main/upgrade-older-i386
remote_dir=/home/xyz/update
mail_to=xyz@local.dom
remote_user=xyz
remote_password=xyzpassword
force_times=yes
get_file=false <---- THIS IS THE OPTION!!
do_deletes=false
file_mode=0644
A disadvantage of mirror instead of rsync is if you append to a file, rsync
can just transfer the appended part, while mirror resends the whole file.
