Mirror remote FTP

Postby Cubytus » Thu May 07, 2015 4:22 pm

Hi there,

as an improvement suggestion over Rsync, I'd like to know if lftp was considered. While not as efficient as Rsync, it would be best when no shell access is available on the remote server, such as with many shared hosting providers. Any way to add this to the packages?

Hi Cubytus

Indeed lftp can be useful.

We go to look at this point for the next version.

If it's based upon Arch Linux, maybe adding a package manager would be an easier solution, isn't it?

Hi Cubytus,

In the next version lftp will be available and it is a nice binary to synchronize with a remote ftp source.
