RE: Cannot get updates from server

I use wget, a little script below, doesn't do anything clever, but it
seems to work reasonably well, crontab'd to run nightly :)

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/nfs/updates/new
wget -m -q
ftp://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.2
/
wget -m -q
ftp://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.3
/
/etc/init.d/current stop
/usr/sbin/cadmin -v create redhat-7.2 >null
/etc/init.d/current start

Don't know if this is the best way but I use ncftp. It only updates new
files(incremental). 

sample command:

ncftpget -d /var/current/logs/update72.log -R updates.redhat.com
/var/current/RedHat/7.2/updates/en/os/ /7.2/en/os/i386/ > /dev/null
