bitsavers mirror is up and in sync!

I use fmirror If you are using freebsd and have the ports collection installed, just do the following: cd /usr/ports/ftp/fmirror make;make install Otherwise download the distribution. Linux RPM's exist as well as generic source tarballs... google is your friend. Then create a fmirror.conf file (mine is in /usr/local/etc) similar to... username: whateverusernameAlgaveyou password: whateveryourpasswordis host: www.bitsavers.org remotedir: /Users/aek/web/bitsavers/pdf localdir: /pathtowhereveryourmirrordirectoryis exclude: f ^(\.in\.|\.mirror|core$|MIRROR\.LOG|\.notar|\.message) exclude: f ^(\.cache|\.zipped|lost\+found|Network Thrash Folder) Then put a line in crontab to run it periodically such as: 0 2 * * * root /usr/local/bin/fmirror -f /usr/local/etc/fmirror.conf Try to stay away from 2am CDT, thats my timeslot :) Jay West ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ashley Carder" <wacarder(a)usit.net> To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 10:14 AM Subject: Re: bitsavers mirror is up and in sync! --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
