Yes - I think I observed the shortened filenames. Though in the script, Expect is just looking for the “lftp>" prompt to return, so it can continue. So as long as lftp returns the script should continue. I seems to log a few commands often (with the longer paths) and then hang. A bit of a mystery but I suspect it is Expect since I have seen other unexplainable behaviors. Expect spawns the lftp process, issues commands to it all in background. I assume you haven’t heard of any lftp issues with path names.
