ftpsync - Mirror Debian and Debian-like repositories of packages
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\f[B]ftpsync\f[R] [\f[I]OPTION\f[R]]\&... [\f[I]SYNC-FLAG\f[R]]\&...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\f[B]ftpsync\f[R] 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 (\[lq]ftp-master\[rq]), 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.
.SH SYNC FLAGS

Sync flags can be specified on the command-line or via a ssh forced
command from the remote side.
