Kinda? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I don't quite know what to call this but Reverse Mirroring... What I want to do is this: Have some directories monitored so that when a file is changed with in them the system starts an ftp session and uploads the changed files to a specified location on the host ftp... So its sorta like Reverse Mirroring or Forced Mirroring or maybe it could be called Active Mirroring, anyway I don't know if there is anything that can do this? Can CVS do something that like? The closest thing I have been able to do to this is have any changed files uploaded via a cron script that ran every 5 mins, but that's very inefficient on cpu time and network resources with all the constant connections to the ftp site to check if the files are different or not, when 95% of the time the files are probably the same... Any ideas anyone? Hmm, well thanks people! Kal. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
