One way to do this with Vault is to use the 2.0 Shadow Folder feature.  It
will automatically copy the latest version of a file to another folder after
a change to the folder that is "shadowed".

One warning though is that Shadow Folders can be difficult to configure.
They are implemented as a web service, so the web service (which resides on
the Vault service machine) needs permission to the folder the files are
copied to, which usually isn't the case by default.  See
http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=188 for more info.

If you want to avoid Shadow Folders, the another way to do this would be to
create a simple command line tool that does a Get from the repository, and
then schedule it to run every X minutes on the web site machine.

Hope that helps,
