Shell Script : lftp Example

Hi guys, the following scripts you can use to upload and download directories from your ftp server using lftp.


1. Upload Script

#!/bin/bash

### Defining Path

dir1="/source/path"
dir2="/destination/path"

user="ftp-username"
pass="password"

### Upload command

lftp -e "mirror  -R $dir1 $dir2 ;quit" -u $user,$pass yourdomain.com

#### Checking upload failure/success

if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then

echo "Download Successful"
exit 0;
else
echo "Download Not Successful"
exit 1;
fi
####

2. Download Script

In above script change this  command 

lftp -e "mirror  -R $dir1 $dir2 ;quit" -u $user,$pass yourdomain.com

to

lftp -e "mirror  $dir2 $dir1 ;quit" -u $user,$pass yourdomain.com
