File Copy

[allan]

I need to regularly copy a file from one server to another, is there an easy way to set up a cronjob to do this? I was thinking of just issuing a wget and putting the file in a web-accessible directory -- but wget does not overwrite the file.

Any thoughts?

From the wget manual:

When running Wget with -r, but without -N or -nc, re-downloading a file will result in the new copy simply overwriting the old.

Hmm...I guess I should have tried "man wget" before making assumptions :).

Now, I just have to see if I can figure out the proper syntax.

I've thought about this a little bit and a better method might be to just use ftp:

ftp http://hosthideout.com/ravioimages/logo.gif

that will grab overwrite...much easier syntax than the wget...
