- From grepping through the comp.sys.sgi archives on sgi.com I found an article
- mentionning cumulus.met.ed.ac.uk, directories images (sun raster[?]) and
- images/gif as holding photographs downloaded every mornning and every
- afternoon. There are photographs of England, Europe, Scandinavia and something
- called "world" which actually covers about the entire mediteranian(sp?). Fetch
- the README file for details.
-
- In order to copy this automatically you might want to use the "mirror" package
- writen in perl by Lee M J McLoughlin <lmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk> and available on
- ftp.doc.ic.ac.uk, but this might be a bit too heavy for such a task. A simpler
- approach might be a script ran from cron and looks roughly like:
-
- ftp -i -n cumulus.met.ed.ac.uk << __END_OF_FTP_SCRIPT__
- mget images/*
- quit
- __END_OF_FTP_SCRIPT__
-
- Hope this helps,
