Hi,
I was wondering if there was any way to stay connected to an ftp site while
I'm away doing something else. The reason for me wanted to do this is that it takes
me hours to get connected to some ftp sites and I might go to get something for about
5 minutes. To inform me that I've successfully logged in, I'm using the !command to
run xmms. So I'd have the following command:
lftp ftp://...:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I would then run:
ls; !xmms nameofwavfile.wav &
This will make lftp run xmms on connecting to the site. The problem is
if I am outside my room and don't hear it. I'll be disconnected from
the ftp site within a minute of non-activity. So is there any way to
for lftp to enter folders, do some 'ls'es, etc. until I come in and
press a key? Thanks for your time.
