[Linux-disciples] lftp is weird

[Stephen R Laniel]

I'm trying to upload a bunch of files using ftp to a remote
Zope server. Using ordinary ftp, all is well: one just does
'mput *' after CDing into the appropriate place, and voila.
In this particular case, it's working slowly, but it's
working.

I need to script this, though. So I've been trying to use
lftp, a la

lftp -c 'open -e "mput blah/*" localhost -u steve,steve'

When I try that, lftp starts uploading one file, gets to
100%, and stays there; it never moves on to the next file.

This is one of the top results when one Googles for
zope+ftp:
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2002-February/108169.html

So this is not unheard of. But it's clearly an lftp problem
rather than an ftp problem.

So: is anyone out there an lftp guru who could explain to me
what the deal might be? I assume there's some lftp option I
could configure that would make it notsuck.
