How can I easily create a mirror of ftp.freebsd.org/pub? The multitude of links make things easier for the everyday user but much trickier for me as I try to mirror the site. I'd tar it but unfortunately I don't have a shell account on the machine... - - - - - - - - - - Aaron Namba (aaron@namba1.com) "Life is a compromise of what your ego wants to do, experience tells you to do, and what your nerves let you do." --Bruce Crampton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
