Nice, that works. I was wondering if there was a piped command that
would do the trick but it didn't cross my mind to think of this.

Which would take a considerable amount of time with a long list of files
instead of using one instance of lftp to download multiple files.
Why not use this:
sed 's/^/get /' download | lftp -u <user>,<pass> <host>
This would only work if the file names do not contain spaces and other
special characters and do not start with a minus sign. If they do, more sed
magic would be required, but it is possible.
