wget --mirror
will do it. I'm not sure if it deletes as well but it does leave behind a
'.listing' file in each directory (for an ftp mirror). This could be used
with find to delete files that no longer exist...
Conor
'man wget:
-m
--mirror
Turn on options suitable for mirroring. This option turns on recursion
and time-stamping, sets infinite recursion depth and keeps FTP
directory listings. It is currently equivalent to -r -N -l inf
--no-remove-listing.'
