= 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 web site [LFTP http://lftp.yar.ru/] 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>
 
 
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 files):
 
 
lftp>mirror -c --use-pget-n=4 rdir ldir
