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).
