Can some share some light, I am trying to “Sync” files automatically from my VPS with another server via lftp. I have searched online and have found a script that will sync every so often and this is done in conjunction with a cron job.
Now, the script was created to sync server to local and all files, I want it local to the server (upload instead of download) and a specific type of file (by extension) and to ignore all other files. I have tried it and I can’t get it to work. This is the command I tried but does not work:
#!/bin/bash
HOST=‘mysite.com’
USER=‘myuser’
PASS=‘mypass’
TARGETFOLDER=‘/’
SOURCEFOLDER=‘/home/myuser/backups’
echo Sync started …
lftp -f "
open $HOST
user $USER $PASS
lcd $SOURCEFOLDER
mirror --reverse --verbose --exclude *.jpg --exclude *.png $SOURCEFOLDER $TARGETFOLDER
bye
"
Can someone with the right knowledge help me with this?
