Notes from Steve Brown:

I use 'sitecopy' for mirroring the FAQ. It will keep a remote site up-to-date with a local
directory tree by ftp.

I also use 'wget' a lot, it works the other direction. It will fetch a remote tree by http
or ftp and copy it locally. While sitecopy runs on the primary site and pushes file to a
mirror, wget could run on a mirror site and suck files from the primary. wget is not as
smart as sitecopy about keeping track of changing files, but it's clever about following
links. I mostly use it for cloning a local copy of an entire remote site. If you screw up,
it's possible that wget will try to duplicate the entire WWW on your hard drive...

Both are free apps, developed on Linux with ports to other Unices and Windoze.
