One last thing: I wanted to check that it is definitely doing the

Well I am testing this on 2 machines, and the main machine on which
I will eventually be running this, is quite old and the version of
lftp is 3.0.6, and it doesn't produce any output for "PROT", except
once at the beginning (just says PROT by itself).
No problem there I think. lftp only has to use the PROT command if
there's a need to toggle the encryption on or off for the next data
transfer, changing its current state.
If everything is set to use encryption and lftp never had to turn it
off with PROT C, then it's logical it doesn't have to turn it back on
either.
The "PROT by itself" at the beginning is most likely just the server
advertising that it supports the PROT command if needed.
An incoming message from the server (<---) rather than a command sent
by lftp (--->).
I have set the debug to 12. Is this the highest value?
I think you can just type "debug" without any number to get all
possible debug messages. You only need to specify a number if you want
to set it lower.
