Hi,

I have tried to download a list of files from an ftp-server, but got this strange problem. After finishing each file the connection times out.

Therefore I would like an ftp client that automaticly reconnects. I have tried yafc (which don't reconnect despite any setting), ncftp (that I cannot find out where to set max concurrent connections), and lftp (which I cannot even get to do an "ls"). I connect using
Code:
lftp -u username,password server.com


then I do an ls and it states connecting all the time.

I badly need help to set up a list of files for download, must not use passive transfer, must set up only one concurrent connection,and must reconnect to server after each file times out.

Strangely enough I found out:

Code:

bash2.05a$ lftp -u user,password server.com
lftp:> set net:connection-limit 1
lftp:> set ftp:passive-mode off
lftp:> qeue get filename.txt
lftp:> queu get filename2.txt
.....snip.....
lftp:> jobs #prints out the queue and what is currently under transfer


also a great command is:
Code:
lftp:> help "command"


yup. lftpd is great. if you quit when queue in transfer lftp will also bring itself to background continously downloading.
