Hello everybody,

I wonder if someone can give me an advice if lftp is a suitable tool for
what I'm trying to do . . .

OK, I have two sites, a cluster-site and a workstation-site. The only
connection between both is with telnet for interactive work and ftp for
data transfer. Both can only be initiated on the workstation-site.

I'm trying to find a way of having automated data transfer of job results
available on the cluster-site to the workstation-site after the job is
finished.

To be a bit more explicit, people are sitting at the
workstation-site and they are starting jobs at the cluster-site. When they
start a job on a cluster, they could also start a transfer script on a
workstation which could check for results (e.g. in a loop) on a cluster
and get the results as soon as the job on the cluster finished.

Did somebody do something like that with lftp? Does somebody have a script
which could be helpful to look at ?

Thanks a lot for any advice and best regards,


Heiner
