Potentially dumb question - mirrordb and jemplode - 25/07/2006 10:14

Greetings!

Does anyone here remember mirrordb? It was a very nice, tiny utility that generated a symbolic link tree of your empeg database content in a local directory on the empeg. This was extremely convenient for making a raw FTP friendly structure for grabbing files from the player.

Does jemplode (or any other utility) do this today? Just curious.

Thanks.

MMm.. I wonder what would happen with

wget -r 'http://your.empeg.ip/?FID=101&EXT=.htm'

For Paul? Three or four days of hoping for no power/network/hard drive failures!

wget? I am not familiar with that one. Is that a standard command? How do I execute that? (Thinking wintel client, bare command line FTP...) Edit: Ah. Answered my own question. That is cheating - I am looking for a default tool that I can let a remote user know is already on their machine...

As for jemplode, I am trying to keep the player locked - read only access only, no way for users to tamper with playlists, configurations and read/write mounting.

Edit: This is not a critical thing. I have my own local method for downloading, so this is just for remote users that ask me "What ever happened to that FTP version you had?"...
