Description-en: file mirroring utility
ftpgrab is a utility for maintaining FTP mirrors. In fact not unlike the
"Mirror" perl program. However ftpgrab is oriented towards the smaller
site which doesn't have the resources to mirror entire version trees of
software.
.
The primary "plus point" of ftpgrab is that it can base download decisions
by parsing version numbers out of filenames. For example, ftpgrab will
recognize that the file "linux-2.2.2.tar.gz" is newer than
"linux-2.2.1.tar.gz" based on the version string. It will then download
the new version and delete the old one when it is done, thus saving you
mirroring 10 kernel versions all at >10Mb each.
