[huskerlug] Re: Synchronizing websites(Mirroring)

And you want them to update each other automaticaly? or are you going to do it
every now and again?

The problem is that server in which you don't have shell access.  One way would
be to run cgi-script on the shell-less server from the shell-ed server that
creates a text file of the files on the shell-less server and the last time they
were modified.
ie: lynx http://nimy2k.com/manu/check_file.<favorite_CGI_language_here>

Then wget this file from the shell-ed server, parse it and compare the dates to
the files on it.  
ie: wget http://nimy2k.com/manu/file_of_dates.txt ;    
    parser.<favorite_scripting_language_here> ;

This should give you an idea of what files are newer where.  Then you can use
wget and ftp to put the latest files in the correct server.  Then run it as a
cron job.

Hey, I never said it was going to be easy, and I'm sure there is a simpler,
sexy-er way.
