For security, we'll setup a rule in the firewall to allow the mirror machine ftp access. Is this the usual way to mirror websites on FBSD ? Also, is it possible to trigger ncftp when files are modified ? (with perhaps a 5 minute delay to allow for all modifications on the source to complete). or would you simply set a very frequent cron job (every 15 minutes, say).
