Well, after trying unsuccessfully to get our FreeBSD 3.3 server to update the server at pair.com - I am about ready to give up. I received the above from their support. We have a tiny ISP on a back island with a few small domains (typical apache structure), and not much traffic at all. Our domains host our tiny ISP, our web page design, and a few "Beach Resorts" which are just cottages on the island. We have one small "Advanced" account with pair.com, which "Includes use of System CGI scripts, 60Mb disk space, 200Mb/day traffic, system CGI" - for which we have never even come close to using 1/6 of this amount! You can read all about the "Advanced" account at http://www.pair.com/pair/services.html Actually, we really like pair.com - they have given good service - except that we need to be up at 2AM to upload our files! We use a "split DNS" so inside customers see our servers for this, so we thought it should be easy to have that server upload whatever changes were made each day... From our server to the server at pair.com... but I haven't found a way. We maintain our own DNS and pair seconds (slaves) the outside copy. My boss, who used to do all of this, has been in the hospital with a kidney problem six times since last October - so it has gotten more important to automate this and let him rest at night. So now we are looking for a hosting company, with a good connection to the Internet, at about the same price as pair.com, that will let us use rsync (or something like it) on a FreeBSD server for our simple little mirror. Any volenteers? Thanks, Love PS to pair.com... my boss has the account, I am just doing the automation because he has been so ill. Because the question was more of a "general inquiry" in nature, and not a problem, I didn't see a need to have him write. The domain was the same as my email. Also, I wouldn't mind us running the rsync server on our box. Can we run a rsync client on your end?
