It contains the +following programs: + +* pslogin: A remote login utility and daemon that provides a secure +shell. This can be considered as a GPL replacement to Ssh. + +* copydir: A cp equivalent which additionally copies to and from ftp +servers. Use it to upload and download via ftp and via mirrordir's +secure daemon. Use it as a rigorous cp to correctly reproduce +hardlinks, permissions and access times. + +* mirrordir: Mirrors filesystems over ftp or locally via a minimal +set of changes. It is optimised for locally mirroring a device as +an alternative to RAID devices. It duplicates file-systems in every +detail, even correctly recreating hardlinks, devices and access +times. It works well mirroring ftp sites that don't support ls-lR +summaries. Mirrordir can take a C script to customise the kind of +files to mirror based on their stat info, name, or other +information. + +* recursdir: Pass a C script to recursdir to recursively perform +operations on files. This is a fast and overkill equivalent of find. |
