Error dowloading with lftp from sftp server: get: Access failed: No such file
 

I've successfully set up lftp upload (put) programs with another vendor on our servers via almost identical shell scripts but am having issues with a download (get/mirror) process. I can connect - list the directory..but when I attempt to get, mget or mirror the file - I receive the error:

get: Access failed: No such file

We have an inhouse server that has working lftp get scripts (using the mirror command) to an sftp server here at BDSC - so I
modified my programs to mirror these programs just to try a true test and still get the same error (s) from the vendor's server :


[root] atm:/stec/net/custom> vi lftpfilemain.ss

/stec/net/custom/lftpfile1.ss


[root] atm:/stec/net/custom> vi lftpfile1.ss

lftp -u "USER,PASS" sftp://208.72.248.104 <<EOF
lcd /tmp/atm
mirror -r
EOF
~

[root] atm:/stec/net/custom> /stec/net/custom/lftpfilemain.ss
mirror: Access failed: No such file (ET584369)
*********************************

I then tried running the same programs, redirected only to our SFTP server (placing a file with the same name on the server) - and it successfully downloaded to the CUs server.

We are able to successfully downlaod the file via a straigt sftp command line prompt.. but not via a lftp sftp command line..

***********************************
I'm not a big fan of "the WIKI" but the only other thing that I've found is an article that refers to using lftp as an sftp client and the need for libssl in the library.


I listed the linked libraries and I don't see libssl in their ldd output.. do you think this could possibly be the issue?

Check to see if lftp is compiled for sftp supportEdit1.find where lftp is installed
■type which lftp
example output: /usr/local/bin/lftp
2.Check linked libraries
■Execute: ldd /usr/local/bin/lftp
■Example output:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libexpat.so.0 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 (0xb7f8e000)
libssl.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 (0xb7f5c000)
libcrypto.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 (0xb7e58000)
libreadline.so.5 => /lib/libreadline.so.5 (0xb7e28000)
libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0xb7e24000)
libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb7de2000)
libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0xb7dd0000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7dcb000)

libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7c88000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fbc000)
3.To use sftp with lftp
■libssl must show like above.
libssl.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 (0xb7f5c000)
■the version and other info does not need to be the same but libssl must appear
■if libssl is not listed.
1.install SSL (sudo apt-get install libssl-dev)
2.recompile lftp with ssl support
