Hey all, I deal with several suse boxes and regularly get updates for them. One day I realized that it was beneficial for both me and (and other suse users with less bandwidth then me) to set up a small local FTP mirror on our LAN. So I set up a little bash script to use wget in mirror mode. It runs at night, when fewer people are on the server (Please note that this is not an aggressive script, it hardly ever gets more then one or two RPMs a night). Anyway, because I all my boxes are either 7.0 or 7.1, I don't mirrors the whole site, but only the 7.0 and 7.1 sub directories of the /pub/suse/i386/update and KDE2 directories. I have set up anonymous FTP on the computer that's hosting the "mirror" and SuSE-YOU can log in just fine, but it is obviously looking for something I don't have, because the following error happens: The little console says: Starting download of patch descriptions from 192.168.0.80. Connected failed : File not found on server Disconnected Then a dialog box pops up that says Can't get patches from FTP server. Please try to get patches from another SuSE FTP server. What is it that I'm missing?
