Secure ftp
by Leroy - Nov 23rd 2006 21:46:11
Works nice, thanks. I do have a question. When using
ssl:verify-certificate what is required for the certificate to be signed by
a known Certificate Authority? I'm getting "Fatal: self-signed
certificate". This may be a vsftpd problem because the only
certificate I found which works is created by 'openssl req -new -x509
-nodes \
-out vsftpd.pem -keyout vsftpd.pem'. However, I'm hoping to find a way
around this. Thanks for any help.

Found a way around this, visit the vsftpd project to see my comments.
Also made some other discoveries which I hope help someone else.
lftp requires both ssl:cert-file and ssl:key-file in order to deliver it's
certificate upon request.
Also, when using ssl:verify-certificate, it reuires nsCertType = server as
a part of the server's certificate.

Great Program
by johnnymason - May 16th 2005 14:46:34
In my honest opinion, I love this application. The cutomization really give
you a lot of play with the client. The layout is clean and very
informative. Great work!

Kerberos support?
by J. Stahara - Dec 2nd 2004 11:23:57
I absolutely love this program -- one of the finest examples in
programming of doing something to exactly the right degree!
Unfortunately, when it comes to my main use of FTP -- transferring files
to or from the machines at work -- I am forced to use a dated 'ftp' command
distributed with Kerberos support. This makes me very sad. Is Kerberos
support being planned for lftp any time soon? I must have it so that I may
wallow completely in the lftp bliss and be released from the yoke of
ancient command-line FTP forevermore!
Either way, thanks for making such a great program. Well done!

Kerberos support is not planned currently. A volunteer is needed, as I
don't use kerberos.

SuSE Linux RPMs
by loki - Jun 12th 2004 05:00:10
You'll find RPMs of the latest lftp version on my RPM website:
http://guru.unixtech.be/rpm/packages/Network/lftp/
(for SUSE 9.1, 9.0 and 8.2)
There's also an APT repository (for RPM):
http://guru.unixtech.be/apt/
And I absolutely second that: lftp rocks !
(I just love that sftp:// thing ;-))

Building Lftp for aix 5.2
by Alberto Dam - May 20th 2004 00:49:53
Good morning,
I would like to share some items I had to fix building lftp in aix 5.2
env:
Trying to configure and make lftp 3.0.3 in aix 5.2 using vacpp 6.0
and some libraries from aix toolbox for linux app:
Readline-4.3.1
openssl-0.9.6m-1
I use this command:
./configure --with-ssl=/usr/linux --prefix=/usr/local5
I got the following warning msg:
configure: WARNING: term.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: term.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: term.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: term.h: section "Present But Cannot Be
Compiled"
configure: WARNING: term.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: term.h: in the future, the compiler will take
precedence
configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING: ## Report this to lftp-bugs@lftp.yar.ru ##
configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------ ##
I have also found three little problems in the sources:
1) in the file post-config.h (line 25) there is a comment
// should be included before any real code.
I have to change in
/* should be included before any real code. */
2) in file src/getdate.c (if I remember well) there is a <cntrl L >
char and
I deleted it.
3) in file src/lftp_rl.c there is an external veriable declaration:
extern int _rl_mark_modified_lines; never defined
To try to fix I defined it in src/lftp_rl.h in this way:
int _rl_mark_modified_lines=0;
I'm not sure it is the right thing to do I would like to have an hint
about this point.
In any case after these 3 little modifications make all and make
install
run fine.
The program runs fine if I run it from a telnet terminal window, if I
use
ssh in place of telnet to open the terminal the program hungs and there
is no way to see the lftp
prompt, I have to kill it and close the ssh connection (I know it is
strange).
A last thing, I got the CVS snapshot named 3.0.4rc2, and after the same 3
fixes
It worked fine in ssh windows too (!!).
Any help to understand this apparently strange behaviour will be
appreciated.

Best regards

Very nice user interface
by bitmage - Sep 20th 2001 06:15:51
lftp is really nice.
- It has a very shell-like GUI
- TAB-completion on commands and filenames
- a shell-like prompt
- Job control (you can give "&" to run commands like get in
the background and use the jobs and kill commands for job management)
- commands with many many options (like delete-source-on-success, ...)
- supports caching
- supports ftp(s) and http(s) and more

awesome
by Tiny - Dec 11th 2000 11:41:18
Hands down the most impressive console-mode FTP client I've ever used. I'm
surprised no one has mentioned the fact that it supports HTTP too! You can
browse HTTP directories just like an FTP directory and use all the same
commands. 'mirror' is the best! :) Alexander is a genius.

lftp rocks
by rangek - Dec 4th 2000 14:39:52
I saw some people complaining about this or that (CuteFTP, you people
are on crack...). So I just wanted to say that this program absolutely
rocks. It is everything I wanted an ftp client to be.
So don't listen to the naysayers, they are full of crap. lftp
rocks. (Oh I said that already...)

lftp is great!
by dimus - Mar 10th 2000 12:38:50
I have linux and Windows NT on the same machine (I use vmware). Even if I
am in NT box I switch to linux when I need to ftp something because I found
lftp is the fastest (user interface wise), most convenient, most intuitive
ftp client with the best set of really important features.

This client does display login info &c. set debug=0, as it says in the
README! Very nice indeed. It got me to switch from ncftp. 'Nuff said.
