how to download hidden dot-directories with lftp's mirror command


I don't know how to download hidden dot-directories with lftp's mirror command

I just can get a dot-file with get command, and list the hide files with ls -a command for now.

Can this be configured?


Solution

  • From the manual:

    http://linux.die.net/man/1/lftp

       ftp:list-options (string)
              sets options which are always appended to LIST command. 
              It can be useful to set this to `-a' if server does not
              show dot (hidden) files by default.  Default is empty.
