title: Secure Alternative to "wget --mirror"
body: <p>I'm looking for a secure alternative to doing something like this,</p>
  
  <pre><code>wget --mirror --preserve-permissions --directory-prefix=/hdd2/website-backups --exclude-directories=special,stats --ftp-user=user --ftp-password=pass ftp://ftp.domain.com
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It's executed via cron.</p>
  
  <p>The "--mirror" switch in that is important to me.</p>
