Fritz> The command

Fritz> rsync -rl ftp.tuwien.ac.at::CRAN /destination/dir

Fritz> should copy the complete CRAN ftp area into /destination/dir.

Fritz> Any comments on wether the server works are appreciated.

DB> Still a few bugs in the system.  Here's what I get

DB>  $ rsync -rl ftp.tuwien.ac.at::CRAN R


Oooops ... make that ftp.ci.tuwien.ac.at of course ... sorry!
