In this Post we will explain How to Setup lftp – A Simple Command Line FTP Program.<\/p>\n
This article is about Lftp and how we can install Lftp in our Linux Operating System. Lftp is a command line based File Transfer Software also known as FTP Client.<\/p>\n
Installing Lftp<\/strong><\/p>\n On Ubuntu<\/strong><\/p>\n In Ubuntu and its derivatives, we can install lftp using apt manager. So, to install it, we’ll need to run the following commands in a shell or a terminal under sudo privilege.<\/p>\n $ sudo apt-get install lftp<\/p>\n On CentOS\/Fedora\/RHEL<\/strong><\/p>\n As lftp is also available in the repository of Fedora, CentOS and RHEL, we can use yum manager to install it.<\/p>\n $ sudo yum install lftp<\/p>\n Connecting to your FTP server<\/strong><\/p>\n To login to a ftp server or sftp server, make sure you know your FTP username and your server hostname. Once you have those you can simply connect to your FTP server by running:<\/p>\n $ lftp ftp:\/\/username@hostname<\/p>\n Navigation<\/strong><\/p>\n We can use ‘ls’ to list files and directories, ‘cd’ to enter into a directory.<\/p>\n Uploading and Download Files<\/strong><\/p>\n Pget command<\/strong><\/p>\n We can use pget for downloading files from the remote server.<\/p>\n $ pget file_from_server.txt<\/p>\n Put command<\/strong><\/p>\n We can use put for uploading files to the remote server.<\/p>\n $ put file_from_workspace_file.txt<\/p>\n Reverse mirroring of directory<\/strong><\/p>\n If we want to mirror entire directory to the server, we will use reverse mirror command.<\/p>\n lftp user@ip:~> mirror -R<\/p>\n This is used to copy local directory contenets to the server.<\/p>\n Exiting the shell<\/strong><\/p>\n Bye command is used to exit from the lftp shell<\/p>\n Using LFTP commands as part of the script<\/strong><\/p>\n After we exited the LFTP, we can use above commands without logging onto ftp server. That way you can embed it into bash script.<\/p>\n $ lftp -e ‘mirror \/home\/user\/ \/home\/user\/Videos\/’ -u user,password ftp:\/\/ip<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Date Posted: 31-01-2018 In this Post we will explain How to Setup lftp – A Simple Command Line FTP Program.
