Hi,
You could:
slot source
mget -O slot:dest *.rar
For the mirror and mkdir -p go and edit MirrorJob.cc and comment that line:
662 ArgV args("mkdir");
663 if(parent_mirror==0)
664 // Patch to avoid mkdir -p on mirror
-> 665 // args.Append("-p");
666 //
667 args.Append(target_session->GetFileURL(target_dir));
668 char *cmd=args.CombineQuoted();
669 fprintf(script,"%s\n",cmd);
670 xfree(cmd);
671 if(script_only)
672 goto pre_CHANGING_DIR_TARGET;
673 }
Regards.

I know about this, but this cause problem because:
a) You do not use slots this way and you have to issue a 'pwd' on the
first server to copy paste the full URL. The problem is big when you
have entered many subdirectories inside.
You have to know the full path...(now I have to copy paste this)
ftp://aa:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/incoming/for_friends/disk1/movies/bigb3
In case the -O switch was used I just had to type
-O slot:a (which would carry the full path) and it will be OK
b)BUT the major problem is: Even If I copy paste the full path the
mirror tries to create the directories EVEN though they exist. My
previous example..If I use
mirror My.Movie
ftp://aa:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/incoming/for_friends/disk1/movies/bigb3
it will try to do
mkdir -p /incoming/for_friends/disk1/movies/bigb3
which means that it will first do:
mkdir /incoming (even though IT DOES exist and MUST NOT BE CREATED).
so the server will fail :
---> MKD /incoming
<--- 550 System Error- /incoming: File exists.
(...Here the lftp hangs...I have to press CTRL+C...)
<--- 421 Timeout (3600 seconds): closing control connection.
**** Peer closed connection
---- Closing control socket
I suggest either:
a) the "mkdir -p" should create DIRECTORIES ONLY if they do not exist...
--or--
b) the "mirror" should support (if requested) the "mget" or "get"
with all supported parameters in order to support the -O parameter
--or--
c) the mirror should incorporate directly the -O slot:a parameter
--or--
d) put an extra command "mirrorfxp" to support FXP between _slots_ of
ftp servers.
Thank you very much for your quick reply. I have searched all the
mailing list for FXP and directory and found that nobody has found a
solution to this problem.
As a temporarly fix I am trying to export everytime all the mirror
script to a file, edit it by hand and then execute it by "source
fxpscript" which is a very tedious process.
I hope that you will help us to find a solution to this problem and
keep lftp the best FXP console client.

BigB3
