Cronjob to ftp upload backups without creating them

[Magistar]

DiretAdmin has a nice built in functionality to create backups and upload them to a remote location through ftp. Now this is working fine but I would like to mirror these files to another location. There is really no need for my server to create new tar.gz files.

So basically I want to upload all files from /home/xxx/user_backups to ftp://xx.xx.xx.xx/server1

Is there anyone that has some tips on how I can accomplish this? So far I have not been very successful when googling this question but I recon it does not have to be really complicated.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

If you have a SSH access to the target server, then all what you might need is rsync which can work over ssh.
Or if you have only FTP access to the target serve, then you can use probably mirror from lftp.
