Hi, I have been using lftp as a component in a simple shell applications for months now. Works great. Thanks.
The hosts where the connections take place have very reliable connectivity so we didn't notice the problem until just recently. If there is a problem it keeps trying which is nice... but not in this case. The transfers are time sensitive. To the shell app lftp appears to just hang. I need it to return fairly quickly so that the app logic can decide whether to try again or do something else. The first test I am trying to get past is "server unreachable". As you will see in the rc below I've twiddle a bunch of knobs but I'm not finding the right one. It still just hangs. We are using version 3.0.6 Below is the relevant portion of the rc file: set fatal-timeout 10 set fail-exit true set idle 15 set max-retries 2 set persist-retries 1 set timeout 30 cheers, -- I think, therefore, ken_i_m Chief Gadgeteer, Elegant Innovations Founder, Bozeman Linux Users Group (406) 581-0495
