Hi,
I had been working on this script back in March/April and then stopped.
Well, I'm back on it now. Could anyone please help me in refining this
small scripting problem, as below, within lftp?
"In my bash script to run lftp this bit \"$(basename "${f%.*}")*\" always
returns nothing so my mirror command results in mirror - I *
Can you please advise what is wrong? I have tried a few things but my
scripting experience is limited."
Thanks again
