Hi,

 

I'm looking for a way to stream commands into an exisiting lftp session. 

 

The reason for this is I send backups using lftp between servers,
approximately every 5 minutes. Today I'm executing lftp -f<script> once
every 5 minutes for all the backup sites, but because of firewall restricted
my machines sometimes get locked out for login/logout so often. 

 

Lftp -f <stream> would solve this, as I can just keep feeding the stream
every 5 mins (plus additional noop to keep me from timing out from remote
server), and stay connected forever (or until I send "close" to the stream).

 

Is there any way to achieve this with current lftp? If not, would you
consider adding support for it?

 

Best regards,

 

David
