If you favor security over timeliness, you may want to set something up with rsync where your www server can rsync to your sh server but not the other way around. Have it run out of cron every minute or so on the www server. For example, on shell server let's say the webdir is in /home/username/webdir and on your webserver it translates to /home/www/username rsync shellserver:/home/username/webdir/ /home/www/username -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
