This module is for mirroring a remote location to a local directory via FTP. For example websites, documentations or developmentstuff which ones were uploaded or changed in the net. Local files will be overwritten, also in case they are newer. It is not developt for mirroring large archivs. But there are not in principle any limits.

 =item delete
 When directories or files are to be deleted = 'enable'
 default = 'disabled'

None by default.
