pre NAME

   ftpsync - Sync a hierarchy of local files with a remote FTP repository

SYNOPSIS

   ftpsync [-h] [-v] [-d] [-k] [-P] [-s server] [-u username] [-p password]
   [-r remote] [-l local] [-i ignore] [-o offset]

ARGUMENTS

   The recognized flags are described below:

   -h
     Produce this documentation.

   -v
     Produce verbose messages while running.

   -d
     Put the Net::FTP object in debug mode and also emit some debugging
     information about what's being done.

   -k
     Just kidding. Only announce what would be done but make no change in
     neither local nor remote files.

   -P
     Set passive mode.

   -i ignore
     Specifies a regexp. Files matching this regexp will be left alone.

   -s server
     Specify the FTP server to use. Defaults to localhost.

   -u username
     Specify the username. Defaults to 'anonymous'.

   -p password
     Password used for connection. Defaults to an anonymous pseudo-email
     address.

   -r remote
     Specifies the remote directory to match against the local directory.

   -l local
     Specifies the local directory to match against the remote directory.

   -o offset
     Allows the specification of a time offset between the FTP server and
     the local host. This makes it easier to correct time skew or
     differences in time zones.

DESCRIPTION

   This is an example script that should be usable as is for simple website
   maintenance. It synchronizes a hierarchy of local files / directories
   with a subtree of an FTP server.

   The synchronyzation is quite simplistic. It was written to explain how
   to use Net::FTP and File::Find.

   Always use the -k option before using it in production, to avoid data
   loss.

BUGS

   The synchronization is not quite complete. This script does not deal
   with symbolic links. Many cases are not handled to keep the code short
   and understandable.
