Thanks Daniel,
the parallel option was it... I removed that and it started working just
fine... (and the recls was not necessary - I threw it in because I needed
it to see the update interactively...)
as for the syntax, I couldn't get it to work as you described, although it
does look
The leading slash is a problem because drive2: is NOT a directory. It is
another drive. above root.
Not sure how else to say it, but the root or / (on drive1:) is where I
start, but I need to change drives so that I can see the other filesystem
that starts at /.
I guess you should think
Hey Daniel - thought of that, but lftp tries to interpret the cwd command,
which it doesnt understand...
would there be a way to pass a command directly to the server uninterpreted
by lftp?
Thanks,
Matt

I thought just adding to the script would work, but now mirror appears to be
using the file listing from the wrong drive?
(manually, I had to issue recls to update the filelisting)
Modified:
lftp -c open -e \set ftp:list-options
Thanks for the suggestions - no go so far.
Pretty sure the issue is the preceding '/'.
The server has the following structure:
drive1:
/
/dir1
/dir2
drive2:
/
/dir1
/dir2
The FTP server defaults to drive1: and if the cd command includes the
preceding '/' then it is assumed that the drive2
None of those commands you typed into lftp were what I intended. I
only put the quotes so you could distinguish what the command was.
They way you tried to use it was completely self-defeating. As you can
see, putting the whole thing in quotes results in an unknown command
error. Additionally,
Sorry for the misunderstanding - not sure how the commands are interpreted,
so messed that up pretty badly.
lftp ad...@hostname:/ cd drive2\:
cd: Access failed: 550 '/drive2\:': Not a directory or not accessible.
see, the issue doesnt appear to be the : but the leading /
You got the point
The leading slash really shouldn't be a problem. When you first
connect to the ftp server, you are in the root directory (a.k.a. /).
When you try to cd into a new directory from root, the slash is
implicit, so cd drive2: and cd /drive2: are actually the same
thing, and both should work.
