Everyone:

Hi,

I'm using lftp Version 4.4.8 on a CentOS 7.1 machine.

The mget command does not work, just hangs.

I'm trying: mget * or mget *.*

Other commands work: put, dir, get, help. But not mget.

Anyone have any ideas? Troubleshooting tips?

Thanks,

Julien

Please paste the full lftp session with the commands you are running.

Have you tried other ftp clients? Other machines?
Do you have access to the ftp server? If so, any errors in the logs?

I am running it in a script, it worked on the old server, does not work on this server:

This is the script:

lftp -d -e "set ftp:ssl-force true; \
set ftps:initial-prot; \
set ftp:ssl-protect-data true; \
debug -o /home/julien/cronjobs/edi/incoming/errfile
connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; \
user username password; \
set ftp:acct ACCT; \
dir; \
pwd; \
help; \
mget *.* ; \
exit"


It gets all the way to the mget, just hangs up there. I can type in the commands one by one. Same thing, it hangs up on mget.

It worked on my previous machine for years, it still does.

Old machine which does work:
Slackware 13.37
lftp 4.2.2

New machine which does NOT work:
CentOS 7.1
lftp 4.4.8

I would try a different ftp client if I knew which one to use. Back when I set this up I used lftp because it was the only ftp client that supported ssl (at least I think that's why I used it)

Everyone,

I downloaded and installed a newer version of lftp, 4.6.3a. I got the rpm from the lftp website.

And... mget works in this version.
