I can't really try it, not having such a weird server, but here are some
observations:
- Your issue is most likely caused by using the --parallel switch with mirror.
That means lftp has to open 10 connections to the server simultaneously. None
of the subsequent reconnections will have your "quote CWD" applied. There may
be some way to get lftp to execute a given command automatically on
reconnections but I only found "ftp:acct" on a quick search and that's not
quite what you'd need… Personally, I'd just drop the parallel switch. You may
also want to turn automatic retries off in case of network/connection errors
since any automatic reconnection will also have you ending up on the wrong
drive.
- I would recommend spelling CWD all uppercase (in quote CWD). LFTP really does
quote whatever you write after "quote" as-is.
- I don't think there's any need for "recls" (or "cache flush") in your command
above.
- Your command looks unnecessarily convoluted.
Instead of:
lftp -c "open -e \"commands to execute go here\" -u admin,passwd SERVERNAME"
You could simply use:
lftp -c "commands to execute go here" -u admin,passwd SERVERNAME
- If things still don't work as they should, set the debug level to 5 or more
("debug 5")
