lftp mirror regular expression problem


Hi,
I am trying to force lftp to mirror only .bin files from folders beginning from 11. and 14., but not older than 1 day. What I have so far is:

Code:
mirror -i "(14.*|11.*)$\.bin" --newer-than=now-1days --no-empty-dirs --use-pget-n=10 $REMOTE_DIR $LOCAL_DIR;
I also tested:
Code:
mirror -i ^14.*\.bin$ -i ^11.*\.bin$ --newer-than=now-1days --no-empty-dirs --use-pget-n=10 $REMOTE_DIR $LOCAL_DIR;
Unfortunately it download only .bin files from folders 11.*
Do anyone have idea what should I change?

You could try using rsync.

Why do you have an anchor in the middle of the first regex ?.
Without testing in lftp I might be inclined to try something like
Code:
mirror -i "^1[14].*\.bin$" --newer-than=now-1days --no-empty-dirs --use-pget-n=10 $REMOTE_DIR $LOCAL_DIR;

For some reasons no. Remote site is quite rubbish and I don't have full control over it.
