Looking for some help setting up automated pulling of two re

Post by Epics »

What do I want to do?

Have my domain pull an entire directories contents every 12 hours to its directory from our server.

Pulling the files from the server directory into the domain directory.

I have been told by the staff here at NFO that a number of you are using scheduled FTP tasks, and I'd love to know how that works.

Why do I want to do this?

My users build some pretty neat stuff in our Minecraft server and would like to download the schematics. I can't be asked to copy paste files every time a new schematic is made, considering we have a LOT of them. (All small files, though.)

Best regards,
Austin

If they are the same computer you can easily cron a php script to copy files. If they are seperate computers and the game server files are available via ftp you can still use PHP or whatever available (Perl for example) to download via ftp from the game server to a web server or home computer.
