Thanks again for the help. So I think that I got it working with the following
lftp -u user,pass -e "set sftp:connect-program 'ssh -a -x -T -c arcfour -o Compression=no'; mirror -v -c --newer-than=now-4hours --loop --use-pget-n=3 -P 2 /home/user/finished/TV /home/pi/usrmnt/Target/; quit" sftp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXX The strange thing is that it will mirror the folders with in the source directory no matter when they were created, but it won't mirror any other type of file unless it is 4 hours or younger (I think. It might be looking at the modification time and not the creation time) Why would it mirror folders that are older than 4 hours?
