Description

ftpsync  is  part of the ftpsync suite for mirroring Debian and Debian-like repositories of packages.  As
       there are way too many mirrors of Debian to populate them all from the machine that generates the archive
       (“ftp-master”), mirrors are organized in a tree-shaped hierarchy.  Thus, every mirror has exactly one up‐
       stream from which it syncs, and each mirror can have any number of downstreams which in  turn  sync  from
       it.
