Mirror was designed to duplicate a directory hierarchy between two machines using the FTP protocol.  It avoids copying files unnecessarily by comparing file time-stamps and sizes before transferring.  Mirror was written by Lee McLoughlin last known at <lmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk>.

The latest version is Mirror 2.9 which will run on Un*x, Wind*ws 95 and Wind*ws NT.  It requires only Perl 5 or later.
