Thanks Alexander, Re: [lftp] tell if file is directory
I have used the cd test in other scripts but didn’t think of it here! Will give it a shot. On another note: I am running lftp from and Expect/TCl script which is interactive and pipe the output to a file. This is on OSX Everything is working great but I just discovered that commands with paths with more then 30 chars ( sometimes 32, 34 but always more than 34 won’t work) in them are hanging. It is hard to reproduce in terminal since there are multiple commands run in sequence, cd mirror etc… I don’t know if this is lftp hanging or some odd effect from the Expect Script. If you have any thoughts as to where I can look to understand what is causing it - I would appreciate it.
