Greetings,
I just discovered LFTP a few days ago. I was looking for
a way to backup our Macs to a LaCie Ethernet external
drive, and the LFTP 'mirror' function looked perfect
for that.
I first installed LFTP via DarwinPorts (in OSX 4, "Tiger"),
and it didn't work. Luckily I was able to track down an
article on LFTP and a problem with polling on OSX Tiger;
that told me how to modify the LFTP source (thanks, Yun
Zheng Hu!).
My question: Is there a preferred form for the time
specification in 'mirror -N <time> ... ' ? I started
a run with
mirror -N "Wed Nov 23 01:00:00 GMT 2005" ...
but that appears to have been a mistake, since
LFTP seems to be doing a complete mirror.
I browsed the archives of the mailing list, and didn't
find anything directly on this question. A couple of
messages seemed to suggest that LFTP used the same forms
of time specification as AT.
Best wishes, N.
