You need an account on the server to log in via ssh which you obviously
won't have on a mirror. Also why bother encrypting the data, it is
available to anybody who wants it.
You can use plain old rsync if the mirror server offers rsync access. E.g.
- list all modules
rsync carroll.cac.psu.edu::
- list the fedora core module contents
rsync carroll.cac.psu.edu::fedora-linux-core/
- sync your local copy with the remote.
cd <directory of your mirror copy>
rsync -av --partial carroll.cac.psu.edu::fedora-linux-core/ .
