Hi. I am using lftp 3.2.1 on FreeBSD 5.4 and I have a few basic questions.
1. For slots, how do I create one for my initial connection without the use of
a script?
2. I could not find a setting related to the "-O" switch (the destination
directory). It would
be useful to have.
3. Why is lftp sometimes so slow when I use a wildcard (ex: mget|ls blah*) on a
specific
server? It can take between 1 to 2 minutes before anything happens when I am
connected to
ftp.openbsd.org. (Can someone confirm this?) Using the same command at the
same URL with
stock ftp does not exhibit this behaviour.
This was an extreme case where a timeout occurred:
lftp ftp.openbsd.org:/pub/OpenBSD/3.7/packages/i386> ls ge*
**** Timeout - reconnecting
