Hello- We are running lftp from cron to connect to an external vendor and download files once a night. The file we download are made available for one day, and they delete the old ones nightly. We want to archive these file on our side forever so we mirror once a night.
We seem to have stumbled across what kind of looks like a race condition that causes lftp to remove files from our local filesystem. What appears to happen is that lftp connects to the remote server and starts to build a list of the files it has to transfer, and before those files actually get transfered, the remote end purges them. In the log, we see a ton of messages like this: mirror: Access failed: 550 Requested action not taken. Message not found. (FILENAME_REMOVED) mirror: Access failed: 550 Requested action not taken. Message not found. (FILENAME_REMOVED) mirror: Access failed: 550 Requested action not taken. Message not found. (FILENAME_REMOVED) mirror: Access failed: 550 Requested action not taken. Message not found. (FILENAME_REMOVED) ... However, the files are being deleted on our end as well when they shouldn't be. To work around this, we moved the start time of the script but I am curious if this is expected behavior?
