Hi! lftp is a very nice client, and I started using it more and more! However, it seems that lftp has a problem parsing the LIST output for some newer wu-ftpd versions, because the number of columns in the output has increased:
lftp :~> version Lftp | Version 2.6.6 | Copyright (c) 1996-2002 Alexander V. Lukyanov lftp :~> open ftp.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de lftp ftp.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de:~> ls total 32 drwx--x--x 2 599 @ 599 @ 80 Feb 10 2003 bin drwx--x--x 3 599 @ 599 @ 80 Feb 10 2003 etc drwx--x--x 2 599 @ 599 @ 80 Feb 10 2003 lib drwxr-xr-x 2 root @ root @ 8192 Feb 5 2003 lost+found drwxrwxr-x 11 599 @ 599 @ 1024 Aug 28 00:48 pub lftp ftp.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de:/> cls -1 10 2003 bin/ 10 2003 etc/ 10 2003 lib/ 28 00:48 pub/ Feb 5 2003 lost+found/ While this appears to be a cosmetic problem, it renders the mirror command of lftp unusable for this server (and maybe others). The version of the server is: wu-2.6.2(1) Wed Aug 27 13:12:53 CEST 2003. Anyway, parsing of LIST command output is problematic. Maybe lftp could use MLSx commands (where supported by the server)?
