Hi. I am using lftp (to an SFTP-server) to upload files from our system to further processing at a collaborator. The collaborator prescribes uploading the files with the extension "tmp", and the altering the extension after a successful upload (They say, they do this to avoid touching files, which are currently being uploaded).
I was trying to script a solution for this purely in lftp, but I have not been able to find an easy way of renaming the files. After i mput the lot (all called *.tmp), i would like to rename them all from filename.tmp to filename.xml (as we are only uploading xml-files). Currently I have solved this by a bash script, which uploads and the renames every file one by one. This causes the opening of a connection for every file we wish to transfer though, at least as far as I know. Do you have any suggestions to how I could get lftp to rename the files, once they are uploaded? Best regards Gregers Petersen, Denmark
