Re: [lftp-devel] [lftp] Compressing data at destination machine

[akshay gupta]

I dont want lftp to extract data from archives, I want it to compress it
into archive so that it occupies less space at the destination side. Is
this feasible to do in lftp?

 I don't think mirror will be able to extract compressed archives, but
 you can download the archive and extract it at the same time, like this:

 lftp cat file.tar.gz | tar xv

Take a look at zipfs: https://github.com/hanwen/go-fuse

Unfortunately it is read-only.

So you can mount a zip file, run mirror over it with --script option, run
the script with an empty target directory, then run zip to update the
archive.
