Help with auto-sync from ftp

Wed Sep 05, 2012 12:43 pm

Hello,

I'm a noob when it goes about programming. I need a "cron job" (i think) that startsup when booting the rpi that downloads (and overwrites) content from a ftp.website.com position. I also needs to check every 15 minutes if there are new or changed files and download them inmediatly. Is there someone who can make that for me and explain how i place it into the right files/directory?

I should preciate it very much!

rsync may be better suited for your application.
Are you trying some kind of Net-boot ?
