How to use YUM to localy update FC6

[Erik Grootjans]

Hi,
I tryed to sync files with rsync
But i seem not to get the parameters correct
I tryed something like this: rsync -av
download.fedora.redhat.com:/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os
/home/erik/test
I get a connection and my modem is not communicating any more
After a few minutes -i think- the connection is broken by the host.
Can you tell  me what i'm doing wrong
I want to sync my computer automatically, so i want to make a cron-job
of it.
I tryed with USER at host (in anonymous at download.fedora.redhat.com:/...)
for the host and a -password-file. But this seems not to work (i get
looking for a directory /home/erik/anonymous at downl...)
My best gues is that i dont get a connection because, i have to login...
or ...


Thanks

Erik
