• Look into using wget or rsynch commands to mirror Audio directory and Acoustic Model onto repository.

Since you already suggested using SSH, then rsync may be for you. This utility is awesome as providing a secure method to transfer files in bulk and is the tool for keeping two sets of files in sync.

As a bonus, you can run it as a background task on the server. That means you won't have to configure inetd or xinetd. Assuming you have working SSH on the client and server:

(server)

tar -zxvf rsync

cd rsync

./configure

make

install

/usr/bin/rsync --daemon $

(client)

tar -zxvf rsync

cd rsync

./configure

make

install

rsync -rvz server:/dir/dir/dir /backup/dir

The best part of rsync is that if some files change in the server /dir/dir/dir directory, the next transfer will only be the updates. This equals speed improvements a few hundred times faster!
