Hi,
I am trying to create a private Centos mirror for local domain. I want this private mirror to be in sync with central mirror the tools i started to use are httpd and rsync but now i find that rsync requires 873 port to be accepted but since i am across a secured network i can only access remote servers throug http only as it is my org policy, can someone suggest me any tool for synchronization of folders over http proxy.
Thanks & Regards, Manikanta.

You could try lftp's mirror feature. Check this for example: http://www.linux.com/feature/122169 and the man page, of course. Problem with (l)ftp is that it's SLOW and not nearly as reliable as rsync.

Is there any HTTP based synchroniztion tool?

lftp speaks http. So do reposync, curl, wget and mrepo

you can use wget, but all those would be terrible ways to do it. for a single byte change in a file, you would discard the local copy and download the entire file from the upstream server. rsync will do a diff kind of thing and is about the only sane way of doing it. prevail on your organization to open the port. does your organization really believe in port number / protocol based security?

This isnt the right list for this sort of a conversation. Anything that isnt meant to be specific to public centos mirrors should be taken to a user mailing list, and not this list.
conversation of this nature has zero interest to mirror admins and its the sort of thing that causes them to get upset about and then start leaving the list. We *really* dont want that to happen.
So, take it elsewhere. And also for the regulars who are on the list for a while, can you please refrain from posting followups to such posts and just point people to the right list instead ? Thanks!
