Most current Linux distrubutions offer lftp through their package management. However they carry mostly rather old versions which have annoying bugs. |
|||
We suggest to use at least lftp versions above 4.7.x. The web site offers source packages that allows you to install the most recent version. |
|||
Install lftp using your distribution package management tool |
|||
yum install lftp |
|||
sudo apt-get install lftp |

Upload a local file(lfile) to a remote file(rfile): |
|||
lftp>put lfile -o rfile |
|||
Upload (mirror reverse -R) a local directory(ldir) to a remote directory(rdir) using '''4''' processes. Use the --continue (-c) option to allow the mirror operation to continue where it left off in case something happens (usefull if you have archive thousands of files and directories). |
|||
lftp>mirror -c -R --parallel=4 ldir rdir |
|||
Download a remote directory using 4 streams for every single file. (This help to improve download speeds for large files): |
