Mirroring sites with lftp

Submitted by sandip on Sat, 11/17/2007 - 19:45

The "mirror" command is all you need to copy/mirror a site with lftp:

$ lftp
lftp :~> connect ftp.domain.tld
lftp ftp.domain.tld:~> login <username>
lftp ftp.domain.tld:~> mirror

Here's a one liner:

$ lftp -e mirror -u <username>,<password> <host>

lftp hangs making data connection

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 04/18/2014 - 15:00.

Newer lftp client tries to connect by default using SSL but since FTP server doesn’t support this, it will hang at "making data connection".

Simply turn off ssl via:

set ftp:ssl-allow off

Try to use LftpFS - filesystem with caching for smart mirror of sites based on FUSE and LFTP.
