/home/morrowc/scripts/ietf/internet-drafts-mirror.sh
has in it:
#!/bin/sh

# Location local: /prod/docs.as701.net/internet-drafts
# internet-drafts location: ftp.rfc-editor.org::
DST=<WHERETOPUTYOURSTUFF>
SRC="ftp.rfc-editor.org::"
RSYNC=/usr/bin/rsync
REPOS="rfcs-text-only ids-text-only"
for repo in ${REPOS} ; do
${RSYNC} --delete -rpva ftp.rfc-editor.org::${repo} ${DST}/${repo}
done
