I just tried using wget manually (wget -m) and unfortuately it doesn't work that well with dynamic driven sites. The downloads however could be done this way. Mind you, using something secure like sftp isn't impossible. (I'd rather not use plain FTP, but that's there too). > Alternatively, we could make periodic manual copies of the site itself, and > you could just auto-mirror the nightly builds (produced at 4am each > morning, with a consisent naming scheme). I presume this is 4AM GMT? That shouldn't be a problem, I'll tell the machine to do it at 6:00PM (GMT+10), the easiest bet is to use wget to mirror the page in question and download the linked files. Perl may be a more effecient way of doing this as it allows for intelligent mirroring, as all we really want to mirror is the nightly tarballs. For this, is there an actual page I need to point the perl script (or wget) at? The thing I need to watch here is how much this eats into our download budget. We're allowed a 3GB limit per month, unfortunately. Broadband here in Australia is extremely expensive compared with other countries. If you want, you could also set up SFTP (or plain FTP) with access to the HTTP accessible areas on the machine. If our server is the only likely user, you could also set up the firewall to only allow connections from 202.47.55.78, therefore making it effectively closed to the rest of the internet. Anyway, those are just some ideas. - -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Stuart Longland stuartl at longlandclan.hopto.org | | Brisbane Mesh Node: 719 http://stuartl.cjb.net/ | | I haven't lost my mind - it's backed up on a tape somewhere | | Griffith Student No: Course: Bachelor/IT @ Nathan | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1-nr1 (Windows 2000) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE+j+fMIGJk7gLSDPcRAp1+AKCL1tHIbKS4ipGLAiG2kzRS8KPKIACeImv0 4cWLrcxw1iBI5A6XVSxKRt4= =PZIJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
