I've been using lftp to sync up my local and remote files for my websites using the mirror command and only transferring newer files. This makes my life a lot easier, since I when I'm working locally I can't have to worry about which files I change, etc, etc. Problem is, the hsoting server blacklists my IP (HTTP, not just FTP) if i transfer too many files. I'm not sure, but it would appear that it's creating a new connection for each transfer and the server has a cap of 150 connections. I use lftp as follows:
I have a shell script i call to sync to the server called put, which looks like: cd mydomain.com lftp -f ../put.script | tee "../`date +"%F %T"`.put.log" The put.script files looks like: open mydomain.com user username password mirror -envvvR a little roundabout, but yea. I fixed the problem by throttling the transfer rate int he ~/.lftp/rc (i think) file... but I'd rather not do that if avoidable. Is there a way to coax lftp into reusing connections?
