It could if the server has a bug in MDTM command (and also SITE UTIME or whatever command is used to set modification time of the files). You can try to use mirror --ignore-time or set ftp:use-mdtm off. If you turn on debug you will see what timestamp the server returns for MDTM command and what commands lftp uses to set modification time of the files. -- Alexander. ___ lftp mailing list lftp@uniyar.ac.ru http://univ.uniyar.ac.ru/mailman/listinfo/lftp
Re: [lftp] mirror -R -v -n ?
I havent got access to rsync on the remote server. I ve had a go at using curlftpfs to nount the remote filesystem adn use the local fielsystem to write the temporaroy files, but havent got it to work (yet) I wonder if its something to do with timestamps and lftp recognising files as the same/newer.
