Whats up Debian-PB Users,

Yes! This is true! Its not a click bite, the lftp is a amazing tool that made possible you synchronize a entire folder or just some files using an remote ftp account.

After you install it you can console under lftp cmd line, its very similar of ftp>;
/iandrade# lftp lftp :~>; |

First Steps
Now lets try connect on FTP with password:
lftp ftp://rhodanx@debian-pb.com Password: |
Put command for send files for the root directory of this ftp user or specify for where you want it go:
lftp rhodanx@debian-pb.org:~>; put file2020 |
I can check now if the file is there:
lftp rhodanx@debian-pb.org:~>; put file2020 -rw------- 1 1000 1000 0 Dec 01 12:13 file2020 |
Tricks and Tips
Now the magic, i wanna synchronize everything in folder ‘/home/zoroca/’ into destination on ftp ‘beyer/’ using the option -R means reverse, so its Source(local machine) and destination(ftp account server)
mirror -R /home/zoroca/ beyer/" |
Remember, that i am using the console and totally user friendly, but if i need uses just an command for sometype of script auto?
lftp -c "open -u rhodanx,MYPASSWORDHERE debian-pb.org; mirror -R /home/zoroca/ beyer/" |
Remember always to set at final of directory the / for it not copy a new directory from current.
Okay, but if i have an private.key ssh for connection under sftp? Because its seens more secure? No problems, we just will need open console with $ lftp and type this for configure the key on the machine:
set sftp:connect-program "ssh -a -x -i /home/tmp/pvt.key" |
Now i can use command line normally ignoring password with:
lftp -c "open -u root,ignoreme sftp://debian-pb.org:2202; mirror -R /home/zoroca beyer/" |
If you see on examples above, i was just used reverse mirroring option from mirror, but i can use it without reversing, just mirroring like it:
lftp -e 'mirror . /home/debianrulez/' -u debian-pb,PASSWORDHERE ftp://debian-pb.org |
So everything at /home/debianrulez will be copied for . at my local machine.
Downloading a website, because yes, the lftp supports http:
lftp -e "mirror -c" http://debian-pb.org |
Another commands
- lpwd – see my current dir
- lcd – change directory
- pget – download a file from destination ftp server
