Can I suggest you investigate rsync ? It will allow you to replicate file trees pretty much on demand across a LAN or indeed the internet should you choose to. Works over SSH so it's nice and secure and if you need virtually instant replication you could conceivably run this from a cron job every N minutes. /usr/ports/net/rsync HTH LukeK -- Luke Kearney <lukek@meibin.net>
