greetings, and thank-you for looking !!

problem = need to mirror sites on remote ( leased ) servers and not getting much help, as the guys I am leasing from know less than me...so far>

1) nix newbie, been around since DOS 2.0 but behing in linux/unix/redhat.

2) I have read this, http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/38

and seems to be what i need....I do NOT have ROOT access, and will not...unless I lease my own server, and not to that point yet.

3) Any help please?.... As I have been buzzing thru everything and anything...getting confused, and this has been for 24+ hours....

and my mind is toasted at this point...

Everything req'd so far that I can see is already installed on both these servers, I just need a little kick in my brain...to put together all this.

thank- ANYONE in advance, and happy holidays,

jim

can you please specify what your actual question is.

?? need to mirror sites on remote ( leased ) servers ??

that's about it, they are telling me I can install a script.

As mentioned prior, i am behind in the NIX curve, and I guess now, looking for help on writing a script to accomplish this task.

As The above <below> article, just tells about " rsync "...

OK, the tranfer is following:
machine A -> machine B.
IP of A: 192.168.0.1
IP of B: 192.168.0.2
Here is example of configuration on machine A located in /etc/rsyncd.conf:

motd file = /etc/motd
max connections = 25
syslog facility = local3

[images]
comment = all images
path = /path/to/images_directory
read only = yes
list = yes
hosts allow = 192.168.0.2 # replace with IP of machine B
uid = username # replace with correct username
gid = groupid # replace with correct group name

AT MACHINE B:
modify your crontab (according to username in rsyncd.conf on machine A):

0 * * * * /usr/bin/rsync -v -a 192.168.0.1::images/ /path/where/i/need/images_replicated > /tmp/rsync.log 2>&1

Thats all... All images on machine A will be automaticaly replicated to B (In this case incrementaly!!!)
