Hi,

I am looking for a CGI script that can be run on a UNIX server that will copy the contents of a directory(ies) to another server.

Basically, I need a mirroring script. One of my sites is hosted on 2 servers to keep high uptime and I need a script that will keep files exact on both hosts.

Many Thanks

Most systems which are derived from BSD unix come with a program called rdist, which seems to do what you want. I am assuming that you have logins on both servers.

These two URLs will also help you:

And a simple example of how to us rdist:

Hope this helps.
