Hi,

first, I would like to thank you for lftp which is a great program.
(Especially, SFTP support is great. I didn't know about that feature
until a second ago.)

However, lftp misses a feature which ncftp has: Recursive get.

For instance I want to download ftp://dante.ctan.org/pub/tex/fonts/lm/fonts/

In ncftp I can do:
   ncftp ftp://dante.ctan.org/pub/tex/fonts/lm/
ncftp /pub/tex/fonts/lm > get -R fonts/

which transfers all 1043 files.

If I try it in lftp, I get the error:
lftp dante.ctan.org:/pub/tex/fonts/lm> get fonts/
get: Access failed: 550 fonts/: Not a regular file
and -r or -R is not available.

Tobias
