Lftp

Lftp (opens new window) is a file transfer program that allows sophisticated ftp, http and other connections to other hosts. If site is specified then lftp will connect to that site otherwise a connection has to be established with the open command.

TIP

Lftp can be used as an alternative to sftp when transfering files in and out of Kista.

Installation

Conda

conda install -r conda-forge lftp

Ubuntu

Install using apt:

sudo apt install lftp

Mac OS X

REQUIREMENT

Installation on macOS requires Homebrew package manager (opens new window)

brew install lftp

Usage

We recommend reading lftp manuals (opens new window), which provides extensive overview of features.

Connecting to Kista

To connect to your kista you will need to prepend the alias with sftp://, example:

lftp sftp://kista

We recommend to use mirror command, which works similar to rsync.
