VERSION

DESCRIPTION
       lftp  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.

lftp  can  handle  several file access methods - FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, HFTP, FISH, SFTP and
       file (HTTPS and FTPS are only available when  lftp  is  compiled  with  GNU  TLS  or  OpenSSL
       library).   You   can   specify  the  method  to  use  in  `open  URL'  command,  e.g.  `open
       http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux'. HFTP is ftp-over-http-proxy protocol.  It  can  be  used
       automatically instead of FTP if ftp:proxy is set to `http://proxy[:port]'. Fish is a protocol
       working over an ssh connection to a unix account. SFtp is a protocol implemented in  SSH2  as
       SFTP subsystem.

Besides  FTP-like  protocols,  lftp has support for BitTorrent protocol as `torrent' command.
       Seeding is also supported.

Every operation in lftp is reliable, that is any non-fatal error is handled properly and  the
       operation is repeated. So if downloading breaks, it will be restarted from the point automatвЂђ
       ically. Even if FTP server does not support the REST command, lftp will try to  retrieve  the
       file from the very beginning until the file is transferred completely.

lftp  has  shell-like  command  syntax allowing you to launch several commands in parallel in
       background (&). It is also possible to group commands within () and  execute  them  in  backвЂђ
       ground.  All  background  jobs are executed in the same single process. You can bring a foreвЂђ
       ground job to background with ^Z (c-z) and back with command `wait' (or `fg' which  is  alias
       to  `wait').  To list running jobs, use command `jobs'. Some commands allow redirecting their
       output (cat, ls, ...) to file or via pipe to external command. Commands can be executed  conвЂђ
       ditionally based on termination status of previous command (&&, ||).

If you exit lftp before all jobs are not finished yet, lftp will move itself to nohup mode in
       background. The same thing happens with a real modem hangup or when you close an xterm.

lftp has built-in mirror which can download or update a whole directory tree. There  is  also
       reverse  mirror  (mirror  -R) which uploads or updates a directory tree on server. Mirror can
       also synchronize directories between two remote servers, using FXP if available.

There is command `at' to launch a job at specified time in current context,  command  `queue'
       to queue commands for sequential execution for current server, and much more.

On  startup,  lftp  executes  /etc/lftp.conf  and  then  ~/.lftprc and ~/.lftp/rc (or ~/.conвЂђ
       fig/lftp/rc if ~/.lftp does not exist).  You can place aliases and `set' commands there. Some
       people  prefer to see full protocol debug, use `debug' to turn the debug on. Use `debug 3' to
       see only greeting messages and error messages.

lftp has a number of settable variables. You can use `set -a' to see all variables and  their
       values or `set -d' to see list of defaults.  Variable names can be abbreviated and prefix can
       be omitted unless the rest becomes ambiguous.

If lftp was compiled with OpenSSL (configure --with-openssl) it includes  software  developed
       by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit. (http://www.openssl.org/)

Commands
       ! shell command

Launch shell or shell command.

!ls

To do a directory listing of the local host.

alias  [name [value]]

Define or undefine alias name. If value is omitted, the alias is undefined, else it takes the
       value value. If no argument is given the current aliases are listed.

alias dir ls -lF
              alias less zmore

at time [ -- command ]

Wait until the given time and execute given (optional) command. See also at(1).

attach  [PID]

Attach the terminal to specified backgrounded lftp process.

bookmark  [subcommand]

The bookmark command controls bookmarks.

Site names can be used in the open command directly as-is or  in  any  command  that  accepts
       input URLs using the bm:site/path format.

add <name> [<loc>]   add  current  place  or  given  location to bookmarks and bind to
                                   given name
              del <name>           remove bookmark with name
              edit                 start editor on bookmarks file
              import <type>        import foreign bookmarks
              list                 list bookmarks (default)

cache  [subcommand]

The cache command controls local memory cache.  The following subcommands are recognized:

stat        print cache status (default)
       on|off      turn on/off caching
       flush       flush cache
       size lim    set memory limit, -1 means unlimited
       expire Nx   set cache expiration time to N seconds (x=s) minutes (x=m) hours  (x=h)  or  days
                   (x=d)

cat files

cat outputs the remote file(s) to stdout.  (See also more, zcat and zmore)

cd rdir

Change  current remote directory.  The previous remote directory is stored as `-'. You can do
       `cd -' to change the directory back.  The previous directory for each site is also stored  on
       disk, so you can do `open site; cd -' even after lftp restart.

chmod [OPTS] mode files...

Change  permission  mask  on remote files. The mode can be an octal number or a symbolic mode
       (see chmod(1)).

-c, --changes     like verbose but report only when a change is made
              -f, --quiet       suppress most error messages
              -v, --verbose     output a diagnostic for every file processed
              -R, --recursive   change files and directories recursively

close [-a]

Close idle connections.  By default only with the current server, use -a to  close  all  idle
       connections.

cls [OPTS] files...

`cls'  tries  to  retrieve  information  about specified files or directories and outputs the
       information according to format options. The difference between `ls' and `cls' is  that  `ls'
       requests the server to format file listing, and `cls' formats it itself, after retrieving all
       the needed information.

              -q, --quiet                don't show status
              -s, --size                 print size of each file
                  --filesize             if printing size, only print size for files
              -i, --nocase               case-insensitive pattern matching
              -I, --sortnocase           sort names case-insensitively

              -t        show timestamps

du [OPTS] path...

Summarize disk usage. Options:

-a, --all              write counts for all files, not just directories
                  --block-size=SIZ   use SIZ-byte blocks
              -b, --bytes            print size in bytes

                                     it  is  N  or  fewer  levels  below  the command line argument;
                                     --max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize
              -F, --files            print number of files instead of sizes
              -h, --human-readable   print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)

                  --exclude=PAT      exclude files that match PAT

echo [-n] string

Prints (echos) the given string to the display.

edit [OPTS] file

Retrieve remote file to a temporary location, run a local editor on it and  upload  the  file
       back if changed. Options:

-k        keep the temporary file
              -o <temp> explicit temporary file location

eval [-f format ] args...

without  -f it executes given arguments as a command. With -f, arguments are transformed into
       a new command. The format can contain plain text and placeholders $0...$9 and $@, correspondвЂђ
       ing to the arguments.

exit [bg] [top] [parent] [kill] [code]

exit will exit from lftp or move to background if there are active jobs. If no job is active,
       code is passed to operating system as lftp's termination status. If code is omitted, the exit
       code of last command is used.

`exit  bg'  forces  moving to background when cmd:move-background is false.  `exit top' makes
       top level `shell' (internal lftp command executor) terminate.  `exit parent'  terminates  the
       parent  shell when running a nested script.  `exit kill' kills all numbered jobs before exitвЂђ
       ing. The options can be combined, e.g.  `at 08:00 -- exit top kill  &'  kills  all  jobs  and
       makes lftp exit at specified time.

Alias for `wait'.

find [OPTS] directory...

List  files  in the directory (current directory by default) recursively.  This can help with
       servers lacking ls -R support. You can redirect output of this command. Options:

-d MD, --max-depth=MD   specify maximum scan depth
              -l,    --ls             use long listing format

ftpcopy

Obsolete. Use one of the following instead:
              get ftp://... -o ftp://...
              get -O ftp://... file1 file2...
              put ftp://...
              mput ftp://.../*
              mget -O ftp://... ftp://.../*
       or other combinations to get FXP transfer (directly between two  FTP  servers).   lftp  would
       fallback  to  plain  copy  (via client) if FXP transfer cannot be initiated or ftp:use-fxp is
       false.

get [-E] [-a] [-c] [-e] [-P N] [-O base] rfile [-o lfile] ...

Retrieve the remote file rfile and store it as the local file lfile.  If -o is  omitted,  the
       file is stored to local file named as base name of rfile. You can get multiple files by specвЂђ
       ifying multiple instances of rfile (and -o lfile). Does not expand wildcards,  use  mget  for
       that.

-c          continue, reget
              -E          delete source files after successful transfer
              -e          delete target file before the transfer
              -a          use ascii mode (binary is the default)
              -P N        download N files in parallel
              -O <base>   specifies base directory or URL where files should be placed

Examples:
              get README
              get README -o debian.README
              get README README.mirrors
              get README -o debian.README README.mirrors -o debian.mirrors
              get README -o ftp://some.host.org/debian.README
              get README -o ftp://some.host.org/debian-dir/   (end slash is important)

get1 [OPTS] rfile

Transfer a single file. Options:

-o <lfile>                  destination file name (default - basename of rfile)
              -c                          continue, reget
              -E                          delete source files after successful transfer
              -a                          use ascii mode (binary is the default)
              -d                          create the directory of the target file
              --source-region=<from-to>   transfer specified region of source file
              --target-position=<pos>     position in target file to write data at

glob  [OPTS] [command] patterns

Glob  given  patterns  containing  metacharacters  and pass result to given command or return
       appropriate exit code.

-f            plain files (default)
              -d            directories
              -a            all types
              --exist       return zero exit code when the patterns expand to non-empty list
              --not-exist   return zero exit code when the patterns expand to an empty list

Examples:
              glob echo *
              glob --exist *.csv && echo "There are *.csv files"

help [cmd]

Print help for cmd or if no cmd was specified print a list of available commands.

history [OPTS] [cnt]

View or manipulate the command history.  Optional argument cnt specifies the number  of  hisвЂђ
       tory lines to list, or "all" to list all entries.  Options:

-w <file> Write history to file.
              -r <file> Read history from file; appends to current history.
              -c        Clear the history.
              -l        List the history (default).

jobs [OPTS] [job_no...]

List running jobs. If job_no is specified, only list a job with that number.  Options:

-v   verbose, several -v increase verbosity
              -r   list just one specified job without recursion

kill all|job_no

Delete specified job with job_no or all jobs.  (For job_no see jobs)

lcd ldir

Change  current  local directory ldir. The previous local directory is stored as `-'. You can
       do `lcd -' to change the directory back.

ln [-s] existing-file new-link

Make a hard/symbolic link to an existing file.  Option -s  selects  creation  of  a  symbolic
       link.

local command

Run  specified  command with local directory file:// session instead of remote session. ExamвЂђ
       ples:
              local pwd
              local ls
              local mirror /dir1 /dir2

lpwd

Print current working directory on local machine.

ls params

List remote files. You can redirect output of this command to file or via  pipe  to  external
       command.  By default, ls output is cached, to see new listing use rels or cache flush.

mget [-c] [-d] [-a] [-E] [-e] [-P N] [-O base] files

Gets selected files with expanded wildcards.

-c          continue, reget.
              -d          create  directories  the  same  as  file names and get the files into them
                          instead of current directory.
              -E          delete source files after successful transfer
              -e          delete target file before the transfer

              -P N        download N files in parallel
              -O <base>   specifies base directory or URL where files should be placed

mirror [OPTS] [source [target]]

Mirror specified source directory to the target directory.

By default the source is remote and the target is a local  directory.   When  using  -R,  the
       source directory is local and the target is remote.  If the target directory is omitted, base
       name of the source directory is used.  If both directories are  omitted,  current  local  and
       remote directories are used.

The source and/or the target may be URLs pointing to directories.

If  the  target directory ends with a slash (except the root directory) then base name of the
       source directory is appended.

-c,      --continue                 continue a mirror job if possible

       RX is an extended regular expression, just like in egrep(1).

GP is a glob pattern, e.g. `*.zip'.

Include and exclude options can be specified multiple times. It means that a file  or  direcвЂђ
       tory  would  be  mirrored  if  it matches an include and does not match to excludes after the
       include, or does not match anything and the first check is exclude. Directories  are  matched
       with a slash appended.

Note  that symbolic links are not created when uploading to remote server, because FTP protoвЂђ
       col cannot do it. To upload files the links refer to, use `mirror -RL'  command  (treat  symвЂђ
       bolic links as files).

For options --newer-than and --older-than you can either specify a file or time specification
       like that used by at(1) command, e.g.  `now-7days' or `week ago'. If you specify a file, then
       modification time of that file will be used.

Verbosity  level  can be selected using --verbose=level option or by several -v options, e.g.
       -vvv. Levels are:
              0 - no output (default)
              1 - print actions
              2 - +print not deleted file names (when -e is not specified)
              3 - +print directory names which are mirrored

--only-newer turns off file size comparison and uploads/downloads only newer  files  even  if
       size is different. By default older files are transferred and replace newer ones.

--upload-older  allows  replacing newer remote files with older ones (when the target side is
       remote). Some remote back-ends cannot preserve timestamps so the default  is  to  keep  newer
       files.

Recursion  mode  can be one of `always', `never', `missing', `newer'. With the option `newer'
       mirror compares timestamps of directories and enters a directory only if it is older or missвЂђ
       ing  on  the  target side. Be aware that when a file changes the directory timestamp may stay
       the same, so mirror won't process that directory.

The options --file and --directory may be used multiple times and even  mixed  provided  that
       base directories of the paths are the same.

You  can mirror between two servers if you specify URLs instead of directories.  FXP is autoвЂђ
       matically used for transfers between FTP servers, if possible.

Some FTP servers hide dot-files by default (e.g. .htaccess), and show  them  only  when  LIST
       command is used with -a option. In such case try to use `set ftp:list-options -a'.

The  recursion  modes  `newer'  and  `missing' conflict with --scan-all-first, --depth-first,
       --no-empty-dirs and setting mirror:no-empty-dirs=true.

mkdir [-p] [-f] dir(s)

Make remote directories. If -p is used, make all components of paths.  The  -f  option  makes
       mkdir quiet and suppresses messages.

module module [ args ]

Load  given  module  using dlopen(3) function. If module name does not contain a slash, it is
       searched in directories specified by module:path variable.   Arguments  are  passed  to  modвЂђ
       ule_init function. See README.modules for technical details.

more files

Same  as  `cat files | more'. if PAGER is set, it is used as filter.  (See also cat, zcat and
       zmore)

mput [-c] [-d] [-a] [-E] [-e] [-P N] [-O base] files

Upload files with wildcard expansion. By default it uses the  base  name  of  local  name  as
       remote one. This can be changed by `-d' option.

-c          continue, reput
              -d          create  directories  the same as in file names and put the files into them
                          instead of current directory
              -E          delete source files after successful transfer (dangerous)
              -e          delete target file before the transfer
              -a          use ascii mode (binary is the default)
              -P N        upload N files in parallel
              -O <base>   specifies base directory or URL where files should be placed

mrm file(s)

Same as `glob rm'. Removes specified file(s) with wildcard expansion.

mmv [-O directory] file(s) directory

Move specified files to a target directory. The target directory can be  specified  after  -O
       option or as the last argument.

-O <dir>   specifies the target directory where files should be placed

mv file1 file2

Rename  file1  to file2. No wildcard exmapsion is performed.  If you give more than two arguвЂђ
       ments, or the last argument ends with a slash, then mmv command is executed instead.

nlist [args]

List remote file names

open [OPTS] site

Select a server by host name, URL or bookmark. When an URL or bookmark  is  given,  automatiвЂђ
       cally change the current working directory to the directory of the URL.  Options:

-e cmd            execute the command just after selecting the server
              -u user[,pass]    use the user/password for authentication
              -p port           use the port for connection
              -s slot           assign the connection to this slot
              -d                enable debug
              -B                don't look up bookmarks
              --user user       use the user for authentication
              --password pass   use the password for authentication
              --env-password    take password from LFTP_PASSWORD environment variable
              site              host name, URL or bookmark name

pget [OPTS] rfile [-o lfile]

Gets  the specified file using several connections. This can speed up transfer, but loads the
       net and server heavily impacting other users. Use only if you really  have  to  transfer  the
       file ASAP.  Options:

-c           continue transfer. Requires lfile.lftp-pget-status file.
              -n maxconn   set  maximum  number of connections (default is taken from pget:default-n
                           setting)

put [-E] [-a] [-c] [-e] [-P N] [-O base] lfile [-o rfile]

Upload lfile with remote name rfile. If -o omitted, the base name of lfile is used as  remote
       name. Does not expand wildcards, use mput for that.

-o <rfile>   specifies remote file name (default - basename of lfile)
              -c           continue, reput. It requires permission to overwrite remote files
              -E           delete source files after successful transfer (dangerous)
              -e           delete target file before the transfer
              -a           use ascii mode (binary is the default)
              -P N         upload N files in parallel
              -O <base>    specifies base directory or URL where files should be placed

pwd [-p]

Print current remote URL. Use `-p' option to show password in the URL.

queue [-n num ] cmd

Add  the  given  command to queue for sequential execution. Each site has its own queue. `-n'
       adds the command before the given item in the queue. Don't try to queue `cd'  or  `lcd'  comвЂђ
       mands,  it may confuse lftp. Instead do the cd/lcd before `queue' command, and it will rememвЂђ
       ber the place in which the command is to be done. It is possible to queue up an already  runвЂђ
       ning  job  by `queue wait <jobno>', but the job will continue execution even if it is not the
       first in queue.

`queue stop' will stop the queue, it will not execute any new commands, but  already  running
       jobs  will continue to run. You can use `queue stop' to create an empty stopped queue. `queue
       start' will resume queue execution.  When you exit lftp, it will  start  all  stopped  queues
       automatically.

`queue' with no arguments will either create a stopped queue or print queue status.

queue --delete|-d [index or wildcard expression]

Delete one or more items from the queue. If no argument is given, the last entry in the queue
       is deleted.

queue --move|-m <index or wildcard expression> [index]

Move the given items before the given queue index, or to the end if no destination is given.

-q   Be quiet.
              -v   Be verbose.
              -Q   Output in a format that can be used to re-queue. Useful with --delete.

Examples:
              > get file &
              [1] get file
              > queue wait 1
              > queue get another_file
              > cd a_directory
              > queue get yet_another_file

queue -d 3             Delete the third item in the queue.
              queue -m 6 4           Move the sixth item in the queue before the fourth.
              queue -m "get*zip" 1   Move all commands matching "get*zip" to the  beginning  of  the
                                     queue.  (The order of the items is preserved.)
              queue -d "get*zip"     Delete all commands matching "get*zip".

quote cmd

For  FTP  -  send the command uninterpreted. Use with caution - it can lead to unknown remote
       state and thus will cause reconnect. You cannot be sure  that  any  change  of  remote  state
       because of quoted command is solid - it can be reset by reconnect at any time.

For  HTTP  -  specific  to HTTP action. Syntax: ``quote <command> [<args>]''.  Command may be
       ``set-cookie'' or ``post''.
              open http://www.site.net
              quote set-cookie "variable=value; othervar=othervalue"
              set http:post-content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded
              quote post /cgi-bin/script.cgi "var=value&othervar=othervalue" > local_file

For FISH - send the command uninterpreted. This can be used to execute arbitrary commands  on
       server.  The  command must not take input or print ### at new line beginning. If it does, the
       protocol will become out of sync.
              open fish://server
              quote find -name \*.zip

reget rfile [-o lfile]

Same as `get -c'.

rels [args]

Same as `ls', but ignores the cache.

renlist [args]

Same as `nlist', but ignores the cache.

repeat [OPTS] [[-d] delay] [command]

Repeat specified command with a delay between  iterations.   Default  delay  is  one  second,
       default command is empty.

-c <count>    maximum number of iterations
              -d <delay>    delay between iterations
              --while-ok    stop when command exits with non-zero code
              --until-ok    stop when command exits with zero code
              --weak        stop when lftp moves to background.

Examples:
              repeat at tomorrow -- mirror
              repeat 1d mirror

reput lfile [-o rfile]

Same as `put -c'.

rm [-r] [-f] files

Remove remote files.  Does not expand wildcards, use mrm for that. -r is for recursive direcвЂђ
       tory remove. Be careful, if something goes wrong you can lose files. -f suppress  error  mesвЂђ
       sages.

rmdir dir(s)

Remove remote directories.

scache [session]

List cached sessions or switch to specified session.

set [var [val]]

Set  variable to given value. If the value is omitted, unset the variable.  Variable name has
       format ``name/closure'', where closure can specify exact  application  of  the  setting.  See
       below  for details.  If set is called with no variable then only altered settings are listed.
       It can be changed by options:

-a   list all settings, including default values
              -d   list only default values, not necessary current ones

site site_cmd

Execute site command site_cmd and output the result.  You can redirect its output.

sleep interval

Sleep given time interval and exit. Interval is in seconds by default, but  can  be  suffixed
       with 'm', 'h', 'd' for minutes, hours and days respectively.  See also at.

slot [name]

Select  specified slot or list all slots allocated. A slot is a connection to a server, someвЂђ
       what like a virtual console. You can create multiple slots connected to different servers and
       switch between them. You can also use slot:name as a pseudo-URL evaluating to that slot locaвЂђ
       tion.

Default readline binding allows quick switching between slots named 0-9 using Meta-0 - Meta-9
       keys (often you can use Alt instead of Meta).

source file
       source -e command

Execute commands recorded in file file or returned by specified external command.
              source ~/.lftp/rc
              source -e echo help

suspend

Stop  lftp  process.  Note that transfers will be also stopped until you continue the process
       with shell's fg or bg commands.

torrent [OPTS] torrent-files...

Start BitTorrent process for the given torrent-files, which can be a local file, URL,  magnet
       link  or  plain  info_hash  written in hex or base32.  Local wildcards are expanded. Existing
       files are first validated unless --force-valid option is  given.  Missing  pieces  are  downвЂђ
       loaded.  Files  are  stored  in  specified directory or current working directory by default.
       Seeding continues until ratio reaches torrent:stop-on-ratio setting or time of  torrent:seed-
       max-time runs out.

Options:

-O <directory>           specifies base directory where files should be placed
              --force-valid            skip file validation (if you are sure they are ok).
              --only-new               stop  if the metadata is known already or the torrent is comвЂђ
                                       plete.
              --only-incomplete        stop if the torrent is already complete.
              --dht-bootstrap=<node>   bootstrap DHT by sending a query  to  specified  node.   This
                                       option should be used just once to fill the local node cache.
                                       Port number may be given after colon, default is 6881.   Here
                                       are  some  nodes  for  bootstrapping: dht.transmissionbt.com,
                                       router.utorrent.com, router.bittorrent.com.
              --share                  share specified file or directory using BitTorrent  protocol.
                                       Magnet link is printed when it's ready.

user user [pass]
       user URL [pass]

Use  specified info for remote login. If you specify an URL with user name, the entered passвЂђ
       word will be cached so that future URL references can use it.

version

Print lftp version.

wait [jobno]
       wait all

Wait for specified job to terminate. If jobno is omitted, wait for last backgrounded job.

`wait all' waits for all jobs to terminate.

zcat files

Same as cat, but filter each file through zcat. (See also cat, more and zmore)

zmore files

Same as more, but filter each file through zcat. (See also cat, zcat and more)

Settings
       On startup, lftp executes ~/.lftprc and ~/.lftp/rc (or ~/.config/lftp/rc if ~/.lftp does  not
       exist).   You can place aliases and `set' commands there. Some people prefer to see full proвЂђ
       tocol debug, use `debug' to turn the debug on.

There is also a system-wide startup file in /etc/lftp.conf.  It can be  in  different  direcвЂђ
       tory, see FILES section.

lftp has the following settable variables (you can also use `set -a' to see all variables and

              enables csh-like history expansion.

cmd:default-protocol (string)
              The value is used when `open' is used with just host name without protocol. Default is
              `ftp'.

cmd:fail-exit (boolean)
              if  true,  exit  when a command fails and the following command is unconditional (i.e.
              does not begin with || or &&). lftp exits after the unconditional  command  is  issued
              without executing it.

cmd:interactive (tri-boolean)
              when  true,  lftp  acts interactively, handles terminal signals and outputs some extra
              messages. Default is auto and depends on stdin being a terminal.

cmd:long-running (seconds)
              time of command execution, which is considered as `long' and a  beep  is  done  before
              next prompt. 0 means off.

cmd:ls-default (string)
              default ls argument

cmd:move-background (boolean)
              when false, lftp refuses to go to background when exiting. To force it, use `exit bg'.

cmd:move-background-detach (boolean)
              when  true  (default),  lftp  detaches itself from the control terminal when moving to
              background, it is possible to attach back using `attach'  command;  when  false,  lftp
              tricks  the  shell to move lftp to background process group and continues to run, then
              fg shell command brings lftp back to foreground unless it has done all jobs and termiвЂђ
              nated.

cmd:prompt (string)
              The  prompt.  lftp  recognizes the following backslash-escaped special characters that
              are decoded as follows:
              \@     insert @ if the current remote site user is not default
              \a     an ASCII bell character (07)
              \e     an ASCII escape character (033)
              \h     the remote hostname you are connected to
              \n     newline
              \s     the name of the client (lftp)
              \S     current slot name
              \u     the username of the remote site user you are logged in as
              \U     the URL of the remote site (e.g., ftp://g437.ub.gu.se/home/james/src/lftp)
              \v     the version of lftp (e.g., 2.0.3)

              \W     the base name of the current working directory at the remote site
              \l     the current working directory at the local site
              \L     the base name of the current working directory at the local site
              \nnn   the character corresponding to the octal number nnn
              \\     a backslash
              \?     skips next character if previous substitution was empty.
              \[     begin a sequence of non-printing characters, which could be  used  to  embed  a
                     terminal control sequence into the prompt
              \]     end a sequence of non-printing characters

cmd:parallel (number)
              Number  of jobs run in parallel in non-interactive mode. For example, this may be useвЂђ
              ful for scripts with multiple `get' commands.  Note  that  setting  this  to  a  value
              greater  than  1 changes conditional execution behaviour, basically makes it inconsisвЂђ
              tent.

cmd:queue-parallel (number)
              Number of jobs run in parallel in a queue.

cmd:remote-completion (boolean)
              a boolean to control whether or not lftp uses remote completion. When  true,  Tab  key
              guesses if the word being completed should be a remote file name. Meta-Tab does remote
              completion always. So you can force remote completion with Meta-Tab  when  cmd:remote-
              completion is false or when the guess is wrong.

cmd:save-cwd-history (boolean)
              when  true,  lftp  saves  last  CWD of each site to ~/.local/share/lftp/cwd_history or
              ~/.lftp/cwd_history, allowing to do ``cd -'' after lftp restart. Default is true.

cmd:save-rl-history (boolean)
              when  true,  lftp  saves  readline  history   to   ~/.local/share/lftp/rl_history   or
              ~/.lftp/rl_history on exit.  Default is true.

cmd:show-status (boolean)
              when false, lftp does not show status line on terminal. Default is true.

cmd:set-term-status (boolean)
              when  true,  lftp  updates  terminal status if supported (e.g. xterm). The closure for
              this setting is the terminal type from TERM environment variable.

cmd:status-interval (timeinterval)
              the time interval between status updates.

cmd:stifle-rl-history (number)
              the number of lines to keep in readline history.

cmd:term-status (string)
              the format string to use to display terminal status. The closure for this  setting  is
              the  terminal  type  from  TERM environment variable. Default uses ``tsl'' and ``fsl''
              termcap values.

The following escapes are supported:

\a   bell
              \e   escape
              \n   new line
              \s   "lftp"
              \v   lftp version
              \T   the status string

cmd:time-style (string)
              This setting is the default value for cls --time-style option.

cmd:trace (boolean)
              when true, lftp prints the commands it executes (like sh -x).

cmd:verify-host (boolean)
              if true, lftp resolves host name immediately in `open' command.  It is  also  possible
              to  skip  the  check  for a single `open' command if `&' is given, or if ^Z is pressed
              during the check.

cmd:verify-path (boolean)
              if true, lftp checks the path given in `cd' command.  It is also possible to skip  the
              check for a single `cd' command if `&' is given, or if ^Z is pressed during the check.
              Examples:
              set cmd:verify-path/hftp://* false
              cd directory &

cmd:verify-path-cached (boolean)
              When false, `cd' to a directory known from cache as existent will succeed immediately.
              Otherwise the verification will depend on cmd:verify-path setting.

color:use-color (tri-boolean)
              when  true,  cls  command  and  completion  output  colored file listings according to
              color:dir-colors setting.  When set to auto, colors are used when output is  a  termiвЂђ
              nal.

color:dir-colors (string)
              file listing color description. By default the value of LS_COLORS environment variable
              is used. See dircolors(1).

dns:SRV-query (boolean)
              query for SRV records and use them before gethostbyname. The SRV records are only used
              if port is not explicitly specified. See RFC2052) for details.

dns:cache-enable (boolean)
              enable DNS cache. If it is off, lftp resolves host name each time it reconnects.

dns:cache-expire (time interval)
              time to live for DNS cache entries. It has format <number><unit>+, e.g.  1d12h30m5s or
              just 36h. To disable expiration, set it to `inf' or `never'.

dns:cache-size (number)
              maximum number of DNS cache entries.

dns:fatal-timeout (time interval)
              limit the time for DNS queries. If DNS server is unavailable too long, lftp will  fail
              to resolve a given host name. Set to `never' to disable.

dns:order (list of protocol names)
              sets  the  order  of  DNS queries. Default is ``inet6 inet'' which means first look up
              address in inet6 family, then inet and use them  in  that  order.   To  disable  inet6
              (AAAA) lookup, set this variable to ``inet''.

dns:use-fork (boolean)
              if true, lftp will fork before resolving host address. Default is true.

dns:max-retries (number)
              If  zero, there is no limit on the number of times lftp will try to lookup an address.
              If > 0, lftp will try only this number of times to look up an address of each  address
              family in dns:order.

dns:name (string)
              This  setting  can  be  used  to  substitute a host name alias with another name or IP
              address. The host name alias is used as the setting closure, the substituted  name  or
              IP address is in the value. Multiple names or IP addresses can be separated by comma.

file:charset (string)
              local character set. It is set from current locale initially.

file:use-lock (boolean)
              when true, lftp uses advisory locking on local files when opening them.

file:use-fallocate (boolean)
              when  true, lftp uses fallocate(2) or posix_fallocate(3) to pre-allocate storage space
              and reduce file fragmentation in pget and torrent commands.

fish:auto-confirm (boolean)
              when true, lftp answers ``yes'' to all ssh questions, in particular  to  the  question
              about a new host key. Otherwise it answers ``no''.

fish:charset (string)
              the character set used by fish server in requests, replies and file listings.  Default
              is empty which means the same as local.

fish:connect-program (string)
              the program to use for connecting to remote server. It should support `-l' option  for
              user  name, `-p' for port number. Default is `ssh -a -x'. You can set it to `rsh', for
              example. For private key authentication add `-i' option with the key file.

fish:shell (string)
              use specified shell on server side. Default is /bin/sh. On some systems, /bin/sh exits
              when  doing  cd to a non-existent directory. lftp can handle that but it has to reconвЂђ
              nect. Set it to /bin/bash for such systems if bash is installed.

ftp:acct (string)
              Send this string in ACCT command after login. The result is ignored.  The closure  for
              this setting has format user@host.

ftp:anon-pass (string)
              sets the password used for anonymous FTP access authentication.  Default is "lftp@".

ftp:anon-user (string)
              sets  the  user name used for anonymous FTP access authentication.  Default is "anonyвЂђ
              mous".

ftp:auto-sync-mode (regex)
              if first server message matches this regex, turn on sync mode for that host.

ftp:catch-size (boolean)
              when there is no support for SIZE command, try to catch file size from the "150  OpenвЂђ
              ing data connection" reply.

ftp:charset (string)
              the  character set used by FTP server in requests, replies and file listings.  Default
              is empty which means the same as local. This setting is only used when the server does
              not support UTF8.

ftp:client (string)
              the  name  of  FTP client to send with CLNT command, if supported by server.  If it is
              empty, then no CLNT command will be sent.

ftp:compressed-re (regex)
              files with matching name will be considered compressed and "MODE Z" will not  be  used
              for them.

ftp:bind-data-socket (boolean)
              bind data socket to the interface of control connection (in passive mode).  Default is
              true, exception is the loopback interface.

ftp:fix-pasv-address (boolean)
              if true, lftp will try to correct address returned by server for PASV command in  case
              when  server  address  is in public network and PASV returns an address from a private
              network. In this case lftp would substitute server address instead of the one returned
              by PASV command, port number would not be changed.  Default is true.

ftp:fxp-passive-source (boolean)
              if  true,  lftp  will try to set up source FTP server in passive mode first, otherwise
              destination one. If first attempt fails, lftp tries to set them up the other  way.  If
              the other disposition fails too, lftp falls back to plain copy. See also ftp:use-fxp.

ftp:home (string)
              Initial  directory.  Default  is empty string which means auto. Set this to `/' if you
              don't like the look of %2F in FTP URLs.  The  closure  for  this  setting  has  format
              user@host.

ftp:ignore-pasv-address (boolean)
              If  true,  lftp  uses  control  connection address instead of the one returned in PASV
              reply for data connection. This can be useful for broken NATs.  Default is false.

ftp:list-empty-ok (boolean)
              if set to false, empty lists from LIST command  will  be  treated  as  incorrect,  and
              another method (NLST) will be used.

ftp:list-options (string)
              sets  options  which are always appended to LIST command. It can be useful to set this
              to `-a' if server does not show dot (hidden) files by default.  Default is empty.

ftp:mode-z-level (number)
              compression level (0-9) for uploading with MODE Z.

ftp:nop-interval (seconds)
              delay between NOOP commands when downloading tail of a file. This is  useful  for  FTP
              servers  which send "Transfer complete" message before flushing data transfer. In such
              cases NOOP commands can prevent connection timeout.

ftp:passive-mode (boolean)
              sets passive FTP mode. This can be useful if you are behind a firewall or a dumb  masвЂђ
              querading  router.  In passive mode lftp uses PASV command, not the PORT command which
              is used in active mode. In passive mode lftp itself makes the data connection  to  the
              server;  in active mode the server connects to lftp for data transfer. Passive mode is
              the default.

ftp:port-ipv4 (ipv4 address)
              specifies an IPv4 address to send with PORT command. Default is empty which  means  to
              send the address of local end of control connection.

ftp:port-range (from-to)
              allowed  port  range for the local side of the data connection.  Format is min-max, or
              `full' or `any' to indicate any port. Default is `full'.

ftp:prefer-epsv (boolean)
              use EPSV as preferred passive mode. Default is `false'.

ftp:proxy (URL)
              specifies FTP proxy to use.  To disable proxy set this to empty string. Note  that  it
              is a FTP proxy which uses FTP protocol, not FTP over HTTP. Default value is taken from
              environment variable ftp_proxy if  it  starts  with  ``ftp://''.  If  your  FTP  proxy
              requires  authentication,  specify  user  name  and password in the URL.  If ftp:proxy
              starts with http:// then hftp protocol (FTP over HTTP proxy) is used  instead  of  FTP
              automatically.

ftp:proxy-auth-type (string)
              When set to ``joined'', lftp sends ``user@proxy_user@ftp.example.org'' as user name to
              proxy, and ``password@proxy_password'' as password.

When set to ``joined-acct'',  lftp  sends  ``user@ftp.example.org  proxy_user''  (with
              space)  as  user name to proxy. The site password is sent as usual and the proxy passвЂђ
              word is expected in the following ACCT command.

When set to ``open'', lftp first sends proxy user and proxy password and  then  ``OPEN
              ftp.example.org'' followed by ``USER user''.  The site password is then sent as usual.

When  set  to  ``user''  (default), lftp first sends proxy user and proxy password and
              then ``user@ftp.example.org'' as user name.  The site password is then sent as usual.

When set to ``proxy-user@host'', lftp first sends ``USER proxy_user@ftp.example.org'',
              then proxy password. The site user and password are then sent as usual.

ftp:rest-list (boolean)
              allow usage of REST command before LIST command. This might be useful for large direcвЂђ
              tories, but some FTP servers silently ignore REST before LIST.

ftp:rest-stor (boolean)
              if false, lftp will not try to use REST before STOR. This can be useful for some buggy
              servers which corrupt (fill with zeros) the file if REST followed by STOR is used.

ftp:retry-530 (regex)
              Retry  on  server  reply 530 for PASS command if text matches this regular expression.
              This setting should be useful to distinguish between overloaded server (temporary conвЂђ
              dition) and incorrect password (permanent condition).

ftp:retry-530-anonymous (regex)
              Additional regular expression for anonymous login, like ftp:retry-530.

ftp:site-group (string)
              Send  this  string in SITE GROUP command after login. The result is ignored.  The cloвЂђ
              sure for this setting has format user@host.

ftp:skey-allow (boolean)
              allow sending skey/opie reply if server appears to support it. On by default.

ftp:skey-force (boolean)
              do not send plain text password over the network, use skey/opie instead. If  skey/opie
              is not available, assume failed login. Off by default.

ftp:ssl-allow (boolean)
              if  true,  try  to  negotiate SSL connection with FTP server for non-anonymous access.
              Default is true. This and other SSL settings are only available if lftp  was  compiled
              with an ssl/tls library.

ftp:ssl-auth (string)
              the  argument for AUTH command, can be one of SSL, TLS, TLS-P, TLS-C.  See RFC4217) for
              explanations. By default TLS or SSL will be used, depending on FEAT reply.

ftp:ssl-data-use-keys (boolean)
              if true, lftp loads ssl:key-file for protected data connection  too.  When  false,  it
              does  not,  and  the  server  can  match  data  and control connections by session ID.
              Default is true.

ftp:ssl-force (boolean)
              if true, refuse to send password in clear when server does not support  SSL.   Default
              is false.

ftp:ssl-protect-data (boolean)
              if  true,  request SSL connection for data transfers. This provides privacy and transвЂђ
              mission error correction. Was cpu-intensive on old CPUs. Default is true.

ftp:ssl-protect-fxp (boolean)
              if true, request SSL connection for data transfer between two FTP servers in FXP mode.
              CPSV  or SSCN command will be used in that case. If SSL connection fails for some reaвЂђ
              son, lftp would try unprotected FXP transfer unless ftp:ssl-force is set  for  any  of
              the two servers. Default is true.

ftp:ssl-protect-list (boolean)
              if true, request SSL connection for file list transfers. Default is true.

ftp:ssl-use-ccc (boolean)
              if  true,  lftp would issue CCC command after logon, thus disable ssl protection layer
              on control connection.

ftp:stat-interval (time interval)
              interval between STAT commands. Default is 1 second.

ftp:strict-multiline (boolean)
              when true, lftp strictly checks for multiline reply format (expects it to end with the
              same code as it started with). When false, this check is relaxed.

ftp:sync-mode (boolean)
              if  true,  lftp  will  send one command at a time and wait for response. This might be
              useful if you are using a buggy FTP server or router. When it is  off,  lftp  sends  a
              pack of commands and waits for responses - it speeds up operation when round trip time
              is significant.  Unfortunately it does not work with all FTP servers and some  routers
              have troubles with it, so it is on by default.

ftp:timezone (string)
              Assume  this timezone for time in listings returned by LIST command.  This setting can
              be GMT  offset  [+|-]HH[:MM[:SS]]  or  any  valid  TZ  value  (e.g.  Europe/Moscow  or
              MSK-3MSD,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3).  The  default  is GMT.  Set it to an empty value to assume
              local timezone specified by environment variable TZ.

ftp:too-many-re (regexp)
              Decrease the dynamic connection limit when 421 reply line matches this regular expresвЂђ
              sion.

ftp:trust-feat (string)
              When  true,  assume  that FEAT returned data are correct and don't use common protocol
              extensions like SIZE, MDTM, REST if they are not listed.  Default is false.

ftp:use-abor (boolean)
              if false, lftp does not send ABOR command but closes data connection immediately.

ftp:use-allo (boolean)
              when true, lftp sends ALLO command before uploading a file.

ftp:use-feat (boolean)
              when true (default), lftp uses FEAT command to  determine  extended  features  of  ftp
              server.

ftp:use-fxp (boolean)
              if true, lftp will try to set up direct connection between two ftp servers.

ftp:use-hftp (boolean)
              when  ftp:proxy  points to an http proxy, this setting selects hftp method (GET, HEAD)
              when true, and CONNECT method when false. Default is true.

ftp:use-ip-tos (boolean)
              when true, lftp uses IPTOS_LOWDELAY for control connection  and  IPTOS_THROUGHPUT  for
              data connections.

ftp:lang (boolean)
              the  language  selected with LANG command, if supported as indicated by FEAT response.
              Default is empty which means server default.

ftp:use-mdtm (boolean)
              when true (default), lftp uses MDTM command to determine file modification time.

ftp:use-mdtm-overloaded (boolean)
              when true, lftp uses two argument MDTM  command  to  set  file  modification  time  on
              uploaded files. Default is false.

ftp:use-mlsd (boolean)
              when  true,  lftp  will  use  MLSD  command  for directory listing if supported by the
              server.

ftp:use-mode-z (boolean)
              when true, lftp will use "MODE Z" if supported by the  server  to  perform  compressed
              transfers.

ftp:use-pret (tri-boolean)
              When  set  to auto, usage of PRET command depends on FEAT server reply. Otherwise this
              setting tells whether to use it or not. PRET command informs the server about the file
              to be transferred before PORT or PASV commands, so that the server can adjust the data
              connection parameters.

ftp:use-site-idle (boolean)
              when true, lftp sends `SITE IDLE' command with net:idle argument. Default is false.

ftp:use-site-utime (boolean)
              when true, lftp sends 5-argument `SITE UTIME' command to set file modification time on
              uploaded files. Default is true.

ftp:use-site-utime2 (boolean)
              when true, lftp sends 2-argument `SITE UTIME' command to set file modification time on
              uploaded files. Default is true.  If 5-argument `SITE UTIME' is also enabled,  2-arguвЂђ
              ment command is tried first.

ftp:use-size (boolean)
              when true (default), lftp uses SIZE command to determine file size.

ftp:use-stat (boolean)
              if  true,  lftp sends STAT command in FXP mode transfer to know how much data has been
              transferred. See also ftp:stat-interval. Default is true.

ftp:use-stat-for-list (boolean)
              when true, lftp uses STAT instead of LIST command. By default  `.'  is  used  as  STAT
              argument. Using STAT, lftp avoids creating data connection for directory listing. Some
              servers require special options for STAT, use ftp:list-options to specify  them  (e.g.
              -la).

ftp:use-telnet-iac (boolean)
              when true (default), lftp uses TELNET IAC command and follows TELNET protocol as specвЂђ
              ified in RFC959). When false, it does not follow TELNET protocol and thus does not douвЂђ
              ble  255 (0xFF, 0377) character and does not prefix ABOR and STAT commands with TELNET
              IP+SYNCH signal.

ftp:use-tvfs (tri-boolean)
              When set to auto, usage of TVFS feature depends on FEAT server reply.  Otherwise  this
              setting  tells  whether  to use it or not. In short, if a server supports TVFS feature
              then it uses unix-like paths.

ftp:use-utf8 (boolean)
              if true, lftp sends `OPTS UTF8 ON' to the server to activate UTF-8 encoding  (if  supвЂђ
              ported).  Disable  it if the file names have a different encoding and the server has a
              trouble with it.

ftp:use-quit (boolean)
              if true, lftp sends QUIT before disconnecting from ftp server. Default is true.

ftp:verify-address (boolean)
              verify that data connection comes from the network address of control connection peer.
              This  can possibly prevent data connection spoofing which can lead to data corruption.
              Unfortunately, this can fail for certain ftp servers with several network  interfaces,
              when they do not set outgoing address on data socket, so it is disabled by default.

ftp:verify-port (boolean)
              verify that data connection has port 20 (ftp-data) on its remote end.  This can possiвЂђ
              bly prevent data connection spoofing by users of remote host. Unfortunately, too  many
              windows  and  even unix ftp servers forget to set proper port on data connection, thus
              this check is off by default.

ftp:web-mode (boolean)
              disconnect after closing data connection. This can be useful for  totally  broken  ftp
              servers. Default is false.

ftps:initial-prot (string)
              specifies  initial PROT setting for FTPS connections. Should be one of: C, S, E, P, or
              empty. Default is empty which means unknown, so that lftp will use PROT command unconвЂђ
              ditionally.  If  PROT  command  turns  out to be unsupported, then Clear mode would be
              assumed.

              allow server/proxy side caching for ftp-over-http protocol.

hftp:cache-control (string)
              specify corresponding HTTP request header.

              without a HTTP proxy, obviously.  Default value is  taken  from  environment  variable
              ftp_proxy   if  it  starts  with  ``http://'',  otherwise  from  environment  variable
              http_proxy.  If your FTP proxy requires authentication, specify user name and password
              in the URL.

hftp:use-allprop (boolean)
              if true, lftp will send `<allprop/>' request body in `PROPFIND' requests, otherwise it
              will send an empty request body.

hftp:use-authorization (boolean)
              if set to off, lftp will send password as part of  URL  to  the  proxy.  This  may  be
              required for some proxies (e.g. M-soft). Default is on, and lftp will send password as
              part of Authorization header.

hftp:use-head (boolean)
              if set to off, lftp will try to use `GET' instead of `HEAD' for hftp protocol.   While
              this  is slower, it may allow lftp to work with some proxies which don't understand or
              mishandle ``HEAD ftp://'' requests.

hftp:use-mkcol (boolean)
              if set to off, lftp will try to use `PUT' instead of  `MKCOL'  to  create  directories
              with hftp protocol. Default is off.

hftp:use-propfind (boolean)
              if set to off, lftp will not try to use `PROPFIND' to get directory contents with hftp
              protocol and use `GET' instead. Default is off. When enabled, lftp will also use PROPвЂђ
              PATCH to set file modification time after uploading.

hftp:use-range (boolean)
              when true, lftp will use Range header for transfer restart.

hftp:use-type (boolean)
              If set to off, lftp won't try to append `;type=' to URLs passed to proxy.  Some broken
              proxies don't handle it correctly. Default is on.

http:accept, http:accept-charset, http:accept-encoding, http:accept-language (string)
              specify corresponding HTTP request headers.

http:authorization (string)
              the authorization to use by  default,  when  no  user  is  specified.  The  format  is
              ``user:password''. Default is empty which means no authorization.

http:cache (boolean)
              allow server/proxy side caching.

http:cache-control (string)
              specify corresponding HTTP request header.

              send this cookie to server. A closure is useful here:
                   set cookie/www.somehost.com "param=value"

http:decode (boolean)
              when  true,  lftp  automatically decodes the entity when Content-Encoding header value
              matches deflate, gzip, compress, x-gzip or x-compress.

http:post-content-type (string)
              specifies value of Content-Type HTTP request  header  for  POST  method.   Default  is
              ``application/x-www-form-urlencoded''.

http:proxy (URL)
              specifies HTTP proxy. It is used when lftp works over HTTP protocol.  Default value is
              taken from environment variable http_proxy.  If your  proxy  requires  authentication,
              specify user name and password in the URL.

http:put-method (PUT or POST)
              specifies which HTTP method to use on put.

http:put-content-type (string)
              specifies value of Content-Type HTTP request header for PUT method.

http:referer (string)
              specifies  value  for  Referer  HTTP request header. Single dot `.' expands to current
              directory URL. Default is `.'. Set to empty string to disable Referer header.

http:set-cookies (boolean)
              if true, lftp modifies http:cookie variables when Set-Cookie header is received.

http:use-allprop (boolean)
              if true, lftp will send `<allprop/>' request body in `PROPFIND' requests, otherwise it
              will send an empty request body.

http:use-mkcol (boolean)
              if  set  to  off,  lftp will try to use `PUT' instead of `MKCOL' to create directories
              with HTTP protocol. Default is on.

http:use-propfind (boolean)
              if set to off, lftp will not try to use `PROPFIND' to get directory contents with HTTP
              protocol and use `GET' instead. Default is off. When enabled, lftp will also use PROPвЂђ
              PATCH to set `Last-Modified' property after a file upload.

http:use-range (boolean)
              when true, lftp will use Range header for transfer restart.

http:user-agent (string)
              the string lftp sends in User-Agent header of HTTP request.

https:proxy (string)
              specifies https proxy. Default value is taken from environment variable https_proxy.

              select additional information in the log messages.

mirror:dereference (boolean)
              when true, mirror will dereference symbolic links by default.  You can override it  by
              --no-dereference option. Default if false.

mirror:exclude-regex (regex)
              specifies default exclusion pattern. You can override it by --include option.

mirror:include-regex (regex)
              specifies  default  inclusion  pattern.  It is used just after mirror:exclude-regex is
              applied. It is never used if mirror:exclude-regex is empty.

mirror:no-empty-dirs (boolean)
              when true, mirror doesn't create empty directories (like --no-empty-dirs option).

mirror:sort-by (string)
              specifies order of file transfers. Valid values are: name, name-desc, size, size-desc,
              date,  date-desc.  When the value is name or name-desc, then mirror:order setting also
              affects the order or transfers.

mirror:order (list of patterns)
              specifies order of file transfers when sorting by name. E.g. setting  this  to  "*.sfv
              *.sum"  makes  mirror to transfer files matching *.sfv first, then ones matching *.sum
              and then all other files. To process directories after other files, add  "*/"  to  the
              end of pattern list.

mirror:overwrite (boolean)
              when true, mirror will overwrite plain files instead of removing and re-creating them.

mirror:parallel-directories (boolean)
              if true, mirror will start processing of several directories in parallel when it is in
              parallel mode. Otherwise, it will transfer files from a single directory before moving
              to other directories.

mirror:parallel-transfer-count (number)
              specifies  number  of parallel transfers mirror is allowed to start.  You can override
              it with --parallel option.  A closure can be matched against  source  or  target  host
              names, the minimum number greater than 0 is used.

mirror:require-source (boolean)
              When true, mirror requires a source directory to be specified explicitly, otherwise it
              is supposed to be the current directory.

mirror:set-permissions (boolean)
              When set to off, mirror won't try to copy file and  directory  permissions.   You  can
              override it by --perms option. Default is on.

mirror:skip-noaccess (boolean)
              when  true,  mirror does not try to download files which are obviously inaccessible by
              the permission mask. Default is false.

mirror:use-pget-n (number)
              specifies -n option for pget command used to transfer every single file under  mirror.
              A  closure  can  be  matched  against  source or target host names, the minimum number
              greater than 0 is used.  When the value is less than 2, pget is not used.

module:path (string)
              colon separated list of directories to look for modules. Can be initialized  by  enviвЂђ
              ronment variable LFTP_MODULE_PATH. Default is `PKGLIBDIR/VERSION:PKGLIBDIR'.

net:connection-limit (number)
              maximum number of concurrent connections to the same site. 0 means unlimited.

net:connection-limit-timer (time interval)
              increase the dynamic connection limit after this time interval.

net:connection-takeover (boolean)
              if  true,  foreground connections have priority over background ones and can interrupt
              background transfers to complete a foreground operation.

net:idle (time interval)
              disconnect from server after this idle time. Default is 3 minutes.

net:limit-rate (bytes per second)
              limit transfer rate on data connection. 0 means unlimited. You can specify two numbers
              separated  by  colon  to limit download and upload rate separately.  Suffixes are supвЂђ
              ported, e.g. 100K means 102400.

net:limit-max (bytes)
              limit accumulating of unused limit-rate. 0 means twice of limit-rate.

net:limit-total-rate (bytes per second)
              limit transfer rate of all connections in sum. 0 means unlimited. You can specify  two
              numbers  separated  by  colon to limit download and upload rate separately.  Note that
              sockets have receive buffers on them, this can lead to network link load  higher  than
              this rate limit just after transfer beginning. You can try to set net:socket-buffer to
              relatively small value to avoid this.

If you specify a closure, then rate limitation will be applied to sum  of  connections  to  a
       single matching host.

net:limit-total-max (bytes)
              limit accumulating of unused limit-total-rate. 0 means twice of limit-total-rate.

net:max-retries (number)
              the  maximum  number  of  sequential  tries  of an operation without success.  0 means
              unlimited. 1 means no retries.

net:no-proxy (string)
              contains comma separated list of domains for which proxy should not be used.   Default
              is taken from environment variable no_proxy.

net:persist-retries (number)
              ignore  this  number  of hard errors. Useful to login to buggy FTP servers which reply
              5xx when there is too many users.

net:reconnect-interval-base (seconds)
              sets the base minimal time between reconnects. Actual interval depends  on  net:reconвЂђ
              nect-interval-multiplier and number of attempts to perform an operation.

net:reconnect-interval-max (seconds)
              sets  maximum  reconnect  interval.  When  current  interval  after  multiplication by
              net:reconnect-interval-multiplier reaches this value (or exceeds it), it is reset back
              to net:reconnect-interval-base.

net:reconnect-interval-multiplier (real number)
              sets  multiplier by which base interval is multiplied each time new attempt to perform
              an operation fails. When the interval reaches maximum, it is reset to base value.  See
              net:reconnect-interval-base and net:reconnect-interval-max.

net:socket-bind-ipv4 (ipv4 address)
              bind  all  IPv4  sockets to specified address. This can be useful to select a specific
              network interface to use. Default is empty which means not to bind IPv4 sockets, operвЂђ
              ating system will choose an address automatically using routing table.

net:socket-bind-ipv6 (ipv6 address)
              the same for IPv6 sockets.

net:socket-buffer (bytes)
              use given size for SO_SNDBUF and SO_RCVBUF socket options. 0 means system default.

net:socket-maxseg (bytes)
              use  given  size  for TCP_MAXSEG socket option. Not all operating systems support this
              option, but Linux does.

net:timeout (time interval)
              sets the network protocol timeout.

pget:default-n (number)
              default number of chunks to split the file to in pget.

pget:min-chunk-size (number)
              minimal chunk size to split the file to.

pget:save-status (time interval)
              save pget transfer status this often. Set to `never' to disable saving of  the  status
              file.  The status is saved to a file with suffix .lftp-pget-status.

sftp:auto-confirm (boolean)
              when  true,  lftp  answers ``yes'' to all ssh questions, in particular to the question
              about a new host key. Otherwise it answers ``no''.

sftp:charset (string)
              the character set used by SFTP server in file names and  file  listings.   Default  is
              empty  which means the same as local. This setting is only used for SFTP protocol verвЂђ
              sion prior to 4. Version 4 and later always use UTF-8.

sftp:connect-program (string)
              the program to use for connecting to remote server. It should support `-l' option  for
              user  name, `-p' for port number. Default is `ssh -a -x'.  For private key authenticaвЂђ
              tion add `-i' option with the key file.

sftp:max-packets-in-flight (number)
              The maximum number of unreplied packets in flight. If round trip time is  significant,
              you should increase this and size-read/size-write. Default is 16.

sftp:protocol-version (number)
              The  protocol  number  to  negotiate.  Default  is 6. The actual protocol version used
              depends on the server.

              The server program implementing SFTP protocol. If it does not contain a slash `/',  it
              is  considered  a  ssh2 subsystem and -s option is used when starting connect-program.
              Default is `sftp'. You can use rsh as transport level protocol like this:
              set sftp:connect-program rsh
              set sftp:server-program /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
       Similarly you can run SFTP over SSH1.

              only).

ssl:check-hostname (boolean)
              when  true,  lftp checks if the host name used to connect to the server corresponds to
              the host name in its certificate.

ssl:crl-file (path to file)
              use specified file as Certificate Revocation List certificate.

ssl:crl-path (path to directory)
              use specified directory as Certificate Revocation List certificate repository (OpenSSL
              only).

ssl:key-file (path to file)
              use  specified  file as your private key. This setting is only used for ftps and https
              protocols. For sftp and fish protocols use sftp:connect-program and  fish:connect-proвЂђ

ssl:cert-file (path to file)
              use specified file as your certificate.

ssl:use-sni (boolean)
              when true, use Server Name Indication (SNI) TLS extension.

ssl:verify-certificate (boolean)
              if  set  to  yes, then verify server's certificate to be signed by a known Certificate
              Authority and not be on Certificate Revocation List. You can specify either host  name
              or certificate fingerprint in the closure.

ssl:priority (string)
              free  form priority string for GnuTLS. If built with OpenSSL the understood values are
              + or - followed by SSL3.0, TLS1.0, TLS1.1 or TLS1.2, separated by :. Example:
              set ssl:priority "NORMAL:-SSL3.0:-TLS1.0:-TLS1.1:+TLS1.2"

torrent:ip (ipv4 address)
              IP address to send to the tracker. Specify it if you are using an HTTP proxy.

torrent:ipv6 (ipv6 address)
              IPv6 address to send to the tracker. By default, first found global unicast address is
              used.

torrent:max-peers (number)
              maximum  number  of peers for a torrent. Least used peers are removed to maintain this
              limit.

torrent:port-range (from-to)
              port range to accept connections on. A single port is selected when a torrent starts.

torrent:retracker (URL)
              explicit retracker URL, e.g. `http://retracker.local/announce'.

torrent:save-metadata (boolean)
              when   true,   lftp   saves   metadata   of   each   torrent   it   works   with    to
              ~/.local/share/lftp/torrent/md or ~/.lftp/torrent/md directory and loads it from there
              if necessary.

torrent:seed-max-time (time interval)
              maximum seed time. After this period of time a complete torrent  shuts  down  indepenвЂђ
              dently of ratio. It can be set to infinity if needed.

torrent:seed-min-peers (number)
              minimum number of peers when the torrent is complete. If there are less, new peers are
              actively searched for.

torrent:stop-min-ppr (real number)
              minimum per-piece-ratio to stop seeding. Use it to avoid a situation  when  a  popular
              piece causes quick raise of the total ratio.

torrent:stop-on-ratio (real number)
              torrent stops when it's complete and ratio reached this number.

torrent:timeout (time interval)
              maximum time without any progress. When it's reached, the torrent shuts down.

torrent:use-dht (boolean)
              when true, DHT is used.

xfer:auto-rename(boolean)
              suggested  filenames  provided  by  the  server  are used if user explicitly sets this
              option to `on'. As this could be security risk, default is off.

xfer:backup-suffix (string)
              a time format string (see strftime(3)) for backup file name when replacing an existing
              file.

xfer:clobber (boolean)
              if this setting is off, get commands will not overwrite existing files and generate an
              error instead.

xfer:destination-directory (path or URL to directory)
              This setting is used as default -O option for  get  and  mget  commands.   Default  is
              empty, which means current directory (no -O option).

xfer:disk-full-fatal (boolean)
              when  true, lftp aborts a transfer if it cannot write target file because of full disk
              or quota; when false, lftp waits for disk space to be freed.

xfer:eta-period (seconds)
              the period over which weighted average rate is calculated to produce ETA.

xfer:eta-terse (boolean)
              show terse ETA (only high order parts). Default is true.

xfer:keep-backup (boolean)
              when true, the backup file created before replacing an existing file  is  not  removed
              after successful transfer.

xfer:make-backup (boolean)
              when  true,  lftp renames pre-existing file adding xfer:backup-suffix instead of overвЂђ
              writing it.

xfer:max-redirections (number)
              maximum number of redirections. This can be useful for downloading over HTTP.  0  proвЂђ
              hibits redirections.

xfer:parallel (number)
              the default number of parallel transfers in a single get/put/mget/mput command.

xfer:rate-period (seconds)
              the period over which weighted average rate is calculated to be shown.

xfer:temp-file-name (string)
              temporary file name pattern, first asterisk is replaced by the original file name.

xfer:timeout (time interval)
              maximum  time  without  any transfer progress. It can be used to limit maximum time to
              retry a transfer from a server not supporting transfer restart.

xfer:use-temp-file (boolean)
              when true, a file will be transferred to a temporary file in the  same  directory  and
              then renamed.

xfer:verify (boolean)
              when  true,  verify-command  is  launched  after  successful transfer to validate file
              integrity. Zero exit code of that command should indicate correctness of the file.

xfer:verify-command (string)
              the command to validate file integrity. The only argument is the path to the file.

The name of a variable can be abbreviated unless it becomes ambiguous. The prefix before  `:'
       can  be  omitted too. You can set one variable several times for different closures, and thus
       you can get a particular settings for particular state. The closure is to be specified  after
       variable name separated with slash `/'.

The  closure  for `dns:', `net:', `ftp:', `http:', `hftp:' domain variables is currently just
       the host name as you specify it in the `open' command (with some exceptions where closure  is
       meaningless,  e.g.  dns:cache-size).  For some `cmd:' domain variables the closure is current
       URL without path.  For `log:' domain variables the closure is either `debug' or `xfer'.   For
       other variables it is not currently used. See examples in the sample lftp.conf.

Certain  commands  and  settings take a time interval parameter. It has the format Nx[Nx...],
       where N is time amount (floating point) and x is time unit: d - days, h - hours, m - minutes,
       s  -  seconds.  Default unit is second. E.g. 5h30m or 5.5h.  Also the interval can be `infinвЂђ
       ity', `inf', `never', `forever' - it means infinite interval. E.g. `sleep  forever'  or  `set
       dns:cache-expire never'.

Boolean  settings can be one of (true, on, yes, 1, +) for a True value or one of (false, off,
       no, 0, -) for a False value.

Tri-boolean settings have either a boolean value or `auto'.

Integer settings can have a suffix: k - kibi, m - mebi, g - gigi, etc.  They can also have  a
       prefix: 0 - octal, 0x - hexadecimal.

FTP asynchronous mode (pipelining)
       Lftp  can  speed  up FTP operations by sending several commands at once and then checking all
       the responses. See ftp:sync-mode variable. Sometimes this does  not  work,  thus  synchronous
       mode is the default. You can try to turn synchronous mode off and see if it works for you. It
       is known that some network software dealing with address translation works incorrectly in the
       case of several FTP commands in one network packet.

RFC959)  says: ``The user-process sending another command before the completion reply would be
       in violation of protocol; but server-FTP processes should  queue  any  commands  that  arrive
       while  a  preceding  command  is  in  progress''. Also, RFC1123) says: ``Implementors MUST NOT
       assume any correspondence between READ boundaries on the control connection  and  the  Telnet
       EOL  sequences  (CR  LF).''  and ``a single READ from the control connection may include more
       than one FTP command''.

So it must be safe to send several commands at once, which speeds  up  operation  a  lot  and
       seems  to  work with all Unix and VMS based ftp servers. Unfortunately, windows based servers
       often cannot handle several commands in one packet, and so cannot some broken routers.

OPTIONS
       -d     Switch on debugging mode.

-e commands
              Execute given commands and don't exit.

-p port
              Use the given port to connect.

-u user[,pass]
              Use the given username and password to connect. Remember to quote the  password  propвЂђ
              erly  in the shell. Also note that it is not secure to specify the password on command
              line,  use  ~/.netrc  file  or  LFTP_PASSWORD  environment  variable   together   with
              --env-password  option.  Alternatively you can use ssh-based protocols with authorized
              keys, so you don't have to enter a password.

--norc Don't execute rc files from the home directory.

--rcfile file
              Execute commands from the file. May be specified multiple times.

-f script_file
              Execute commands in the file and exit.  This option must be used alone  without  other
              arguments (except --norc).

-c commands
              Execute  the given commands and exit. Commands can be separated with a semicolon, `&&'
              or `||'. Remember to quote the commands argument properly in the shell.   This  option
              must be used alone without other arguments (except --norc).

Other open options may also be given on the lftp command line.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       The following environment variables are processed by lftp:

EDITOR Used as local editor for the edit command.

HOME   Used for (local) tilde (`~') expansion.

SHELL  Used by the ! command to determine the shell to run.

PAGER  This  should  be  the  name of the pager to use.  It's used by the more and zmore comвЂђ
              mands.

http_proxy, https_proxy
              Used to set initial http:proxy, hftp:proxy and https:proxy variables.

ftp_proxy
              Used to set initial ftp:proxy or hftp:proxy variables, depending on URL protocol  used
              in this environment variable.

no_proxy
              Used to set initial net:no-proxy variable.

LFTP_MODULE_PATH
              Used to set initial module:path variable.

LFTP_HOME
              Used  to locate the directory that stores user-specific configuration files. If unset,
              ~/.lftp will be used. Please note that if this directory  does  not  exist,  then  XDG
              directories will be used.

LFTP_PASSWORD
              Used for --env-password open option.

LS_COLORS
              used to set initial color:dir-colors variable.

XDG_CONFIG_HOME, XDG_DATA_HOME, XDG_CACHE_HOME
              Used  to  locate  the  directories for user-specific files when ~/.lftp (or $LFTP_HOME
              directory) does not exist. Defaults are ~/.config, ~/.local/share and ~/.cache respecвЂђ
              tively. The suffix /lftp is appended to make the full path to the directories.

FILES
       /etc/lftp.conf
              system-wide startup file. Actual location depends on --sysconfdir configure option. It
              is /etc when prefix is /usr, /usr/local/etc by default.

~/.config/lftp/rc or ~/.lftp/rc, ~/.lftprc
              These files are executed on lftp startup after /etc/lftp.conf.

~/.local/share/lftp/log or ~/.lftp/log
              The file things are logged to when lftp moves into the background in nohup mode.

~/.local/share/lftp/transfer_log or ~/.lftp/transfer_log
              The file transfers are logged to when log:enabled/xfer setting is set to  `yes'.   The
              location can be changed by log:file/xfer setting.

~/.local/share/lftp/bookmarks or ~/.lftp/bookmarks
              The file is used to store lftp's bookmarks.  See the bookmark command.

~/.local/share/lftp/cwd_history or ~/.lftp/cwd_history
              The file is used to store last working directories for each site visited.

~/.local/share/lftp/bg/ or ~/.lftp/bg/
              The directory is used to store named sockets for backgrounded lftp processes.

~/.cache/lftp/DHT/ or ~/.lftp/DHT/"
              The  directory  is  used to store DHT id and nodes cache for IPv4 and IPv6.  File name
              suffix is the host name.

~/.cache/lftp/edit/ or ~/.lftp/edit/"
              The directory is used to store temporary files for edit command.

~/.local/share/lftp/torrent/md/ or ~/.lftp/torrent/md/"
              The directory is used to store torrent metadata. It is especially  useful  for  magnet
              links, cached metadata can be loaded from the directory.  It can also serve as torrent
              history, file names are the info_hash of torrents.

~/.netrc
              The file is consulted to get default login and password to a server when it is  speciвЂђ
              fied without a protocol to the `open' command.  Passwords are also searched here if an
              URL with user name but with no password is used.
