|||
Most current Linux distributions 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 enable you to compile the most recent version. Check the README and the INSTALL files in the documentation of lftp. |
|||
To 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, reverse mirror (-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 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): |
|||
lftp>mirror -c --use-pget-n=4 rdir ldir |
