lftp with progress bar in a script

bittus · 01-07-2013, 08:49 AM

I would like to see the progress of lftp download while running in a script.

Currently I am using the following in my script:

Quote:

lftp -c 'pget -n 100 http://xx:xx:xx:xx/cloud_2012/cloud_config.tar '

But this does not display the progress of download while executing thru the script.

If i execute the command manually, I'm able to see the progress as below:

Quote:

`...cloud_config.tar', got 35256440 of 35614720 (98%) 726.2K/s eta:28s
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..oooo.

I would like to see the same output while executing the command thru script. Appreciate any sort of help.

Thank you.

Can you try adding 2>&1 to your lftp script? This should redirect the output to the console but sure might mess up while you are in the middle of something.. You can redirect to a file instead.
