I'm trying to develop an automatic downloader to work for auto-retrieving virus definitions.
Using lftp (LFTP | Version 4.0.7) running on Cygwin (1.5.10), (unfortunately on top of Windows XP SPLatest...)
I can login to the web site ok (Symantec, using anonymous account they advertise), and can drill down to eg:
lftp anonymous@update.symantec.com:~/public/english_us_canada/liveupdate/mac_liveupdate/updates/LiveUpdateAdminUtility> pwd
ftp://anonymous@update.symantec.com/...teAdminUtility

and can see files ok: (after a little SNIPing...)
lftp anonymous@update.symantec.com:~/pub...lity> ls
-rw-r--r-- -- /mwg-internal/de5fs23hu73ds/files/javascript/sw.js
-rw-r--r-- -- /mwg-internal/de5fs23hu73ds/files/default/img/bg_titlebar.gif
drwxr-xr-x -- /public/english_us_canada/liveupdate/mac_liveupdate/updates
-rw-r--r-- -- CurrentVersion.txt
-rw-r--r-- -- LiveUpdateAdminInstall.zip
drwxr-xr-x -- OldVersions
-rw-r--r-- -- ReadMe.txt
...
and have a local folder with permissions all set ok. (admin account on my local pc helps)
lftp anonymous@update.symantec.com:~/pub...ity> lcd LUTest/test
lcd ok, local cwd=/home/masmith2/LUTest/test

BUT

when I try to actually download a file - I get 404 file not found.

lftp anonymous@update.symantec.com:~/pub...ity> get1 -a ReadMe.txt
get1: Access failed: 404 filenotfound (ReadMe.txt)

I am hiding behind a boeing proxy server, but that's set up ok (before that, the lftp ls command didn't work.)
I've tried various flavors of get1 ./ReadMe.txt, verified case, all the simple things...

I've tried http://lftp.yar.ru/ already.
I can access the ReadMe.txt and others thru Tnternet Exploder on the same computer at the same time no problem at all.

Any Thoughts????

Hi,

I don't know of "get1" command in lftp (neither lftp in Cygwin)
but on my CentOS machine this gets me the file complete download

get1 is documented in the man page, also lftp.yar.ru, as transfer a single file.
"First make it work, then make it work well..."

My suspicion is that there's a setting in the lftp settings that's not working well with my corporate proxy server, which I know will let me get the file with eg. Internet Explorer's ftp access.

lftp settings below. ( passwords obscured, irrelevancies like screen color and torrent removed from list.

hopefully irrelevant prompts and such removed - they trip the images filter on this site.
