Alexander,

When I try the sync-mode setting, lftp goes into a reconnect loop and
never gets the file info.

I have found a solution, but it seems to contradict the documentation.
Here is what I did:

ftp:timezone -8

Again, the remote server is actually in the GMT+8 timezone, and I am in
US/Pacific (currently GMT-7). If it is 8:00am on 5/1/2007 here (PDT) and
I push a file to the Singapore server, the timestamp on the server reads
1:00am 5/2/2007. Reading the manpage, I would expect to set ftp:timezone
to +8. But the -8 setting works. Is this the intended operation?

Best regards,

Raun

Have you tried `set ftp:sync-mode no' ?

See if file modification time output by `ls' differs from local one.
