Hi, I am running lftp on gentoo. As a beginner, I have some questions to ask. 
I am using the following script to download the whole folder from the ftp
------------------------------------
# queue.lftp
# lftp -f queue.lftp to run

# Output test to lftp.log
debug 3 -o logname.log 

# Reconnect settings
set net:reconnect-interval-base 61
set net:reconnect-interval-max 65
set net:reconnect-interval-multiplier 1.03
set ftp:retry-530 ".*"

# Disable SSL
set ftp:ssl-allow 0

# Mirror a directory
queue mirror -c
"ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]://abc.abc.org:1234/---++XXX++---/XXX-XXXX/ ./"
--------------------------------------------

After I run "lftp -f queue.lftp", the downloading job is running in
the background.
My first question is, how to view and control the running jobs. I
tried the jobs command
in lftp, it return no jobs, maybe that is just  a different thread. I
also tried ps -a, no jobs show up.
So I dunno how to stop/resume the jobs too. 

I also dunno how is the downloading progress going. Seems that the job
put the downloaded files into
a temp folder. I shared the drive with samba and from another PC
running winxp, I can find that the temp
folder is named like _IDZPL~F, just inside the current folder ./.
However, in linux I cannot see that folder
by ls -a. My second question is that how can I access and handle the
temp folder? Furthermore, it seems that
which the downloading is finished, the temp folder began empty (
viewed from winxp pc), but I still cannot find the
download files. Where are they going?

Seems to me that after running the script, I cannot view and control
neither the jobs in the background nor
the downloaded files. Could you please enlighten me how to handle this problem.

Thanks!
