This example of mirroring remote sites might be useful for simple sites with only HTML files. If you have the need for a more sophisticated remote mirroring system, it would be best to use a UNIX-based replication tool like rdist for your site. If you are running a Windows NT server, there are replication tools available for these systems as well.
