= Intro = |

LFTP is an enhanced sftp client that allows faster parallel down and uploads as well as a more convenient interface |
|||
= Documentation = |
|||
LFTP Documentation can be found here [http://lftp.yar.ru/ http://lftp.yar.ru/] |
|||
= Getting and installing = |
|||
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 [http://lftp.yar.ru/ LFTP] 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 |
|||
= Using = |
|||
Log in with your archive account |
|||
lftp -u <abc> sftp://archive-sftp.lsdf.kit.edu |
|||
Password: <password> |
|||
= Usage examples = |
|||
Upload a local file (lfile) to the archive: |
|||
lftp>put lfile |
|||
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 improves download speeds for large i.e. more than 100 MB, files): |
|||
lftp>mirror -c --use-pget-n=4 rdir ldir |
|||
From the command line to copy a whole directory towards the archive and redirection of the output: |
|||
lftp -u <username>,<password> -e "mirror --reverse -v <source directory> ./private/<destination>/;quit" sftp://archive-sftp.lsdf.kit.edu 2> error_output.txt 1> stdoout.txt |
|||
