Hello, Can't thank you enough for creating lftp. It is a wonderful utility. Love the mirror command for both uploading and downloading.
I'm using lftp to download files from an ProFTPD 1.2.9 server. Here's the sub-command I have to use to get it to work: set ftp:ssl-allow no Without the above subcommand, lftp hangs on the mirror and ls commands. It stops completely and is unable to go on. My problem? I can't seem to get lftp to blow off directories that are empty. I'm using the mirror command to download an entire directory tree. By "blow off" I mean that lftp is not willing to download the empty directory and go on. Why is this? Instead, lftp seems to think something is wrong and keeps trying to download the directory over and over again. It keeps doing a "Delay before reconnect" and tries again. It tries several times to download the empty directory before moving on. Is there a way to alter this behavior? Normally lftp downloads a whole directory tree very quickly. However, with empty directories present, minutes become hours. Thanks so much, Ed Abbott
