 In both cases, make sure that Linux system administrator set correct permission for the directory "events", so you can copy the files. The directory for indexing should be inside your private directory outside the Web area.

+====== How to mirror entire dataset ======
+You can mirror an entire dataset by copying HepSim files to your mirror web server (or local computer).
+You can use the command "hs-mirror" from the "hs-toolkit" package. For example, if you want
+to mirror a dataset with known URL, use this example:
+<code bash>
+wget http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/hepsim/soft/hs-toolkit.tgz -O - | tar -xz;
+source hs-toolkit/setup.sh # setup HepSim programs
+# now copy a dataset from URL to a new location
+SOURCE=http://cepcgit.ihep.ac.cn:81/hepsim/events/ee/250gev/pythia6_higgs_gamgam_test
+OUTPUT_DIR=/var/www/html/
+hs-mirror -i $SOURCE-o $OUTPUT_DIR
+</code>
+This example creates the directory "/var/www/html/events/ee/250gev/pythia6_higgs_gamgam_test" and copies all files from the
+URL. The URL can be found using the HepSim web page.
+If you want to download only EVGEN files, without reconstructed events, use this command:
+<code bash>
+hs-mirror -i $SOURCE-o $OUTPUT_DIR -t evgen
+</code>
+Generally, you do not need to index files in the mirror directory.
+====== Summary ======
+When everything is done, this is what you should expect:
+  * You files will be visible on the main HepSim web page and on the current mirrors (takes ~ few days to propagate the changes)
+  * You can search your files etc. using the main HepSim web page
+  * You can search, list and download files using hs-toolkit commands (hs-find, hs-ls, hs-get etc)
+  * Since your files are public, there is good chance that somebody will make a mirror to reduce the load on your server
+  * You server will be listed on the page [[http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/hepsim/summary.php|statistics summary]]
