NAME

       ftpsync - Mirror Debian and Debian-like repositories of packages

SYNOPSIS

       ftpsync [OPTION]...  [SYNC-FLAG]...

DESCRIPTION

       ftpsync  is part of the ftpsync suite for mirroring Debian and Debian-like repositories of
       packages.  As there are way too many mirrors of Debian  to  populate  them  all  from  the
       machine  that generates the archive ("ftp-master"), mirrors are organized in a tree-shaped
       hierarchy.  Thus, every mirror has exactly one upstream from  which  it  syncs,  and  each
       mirror can have any number of downstreams which in turn sync from it.

SYNC FLAGS

       Sync  flags  can  be  specified  on  the command-line or via a ssh forced command from the
       remote side.

       sync:archive:foo
              Select archive foo for syncing.  A config needs to be available.

       sync:all
              Do a complete sync.

       sync:stage1
              Only do a stage 1 sync.

       sync:stage2
              Only do a stage 2 sync.

       sync:mhop
              Do a special multi-hop sync, usually additionally to stage 1.

       sync:callback
              Call back when done.

OPTIONS

       -T     Information about the used trigger.

              If undefined the following values are automatically set:

              • ssh if called from a ssh forced command.

              • cron if called via ftpsyn-cron(1).
