The China mirror uses the rsync command to do the mirroring.
rsync
The command works well for the GMT data server:
rsync rsync://oceania.generic-mapping-tools.org/gmtdata/
but it doesn't work for the gmt ftp server:
$ rsync rsync://ftp.soest.hawaii.edu/gmt rsync: [Receiver] failed to connect to ftp.soest.hawaii.edu (128.171.151.230): Connection refused (61) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(137) [Receiver=3.2.3]
Due to the rsync failure, the China mirror has to "mirror" an unofficial mirror:
rsync rsync://gmt.mirror.ac.za/gmt/
which is not ideal and may be insecure.
Does the GMT FTP server support rsync? If not, can it be enabled?
I've passed the question to the SOEST IT people.
Closing as rsync won't be added.
