I have a Windows server running Windows Server 2008 R2. I've set up an FTP site and a user account and I can connect to it and successfully download files using the Windows command-line FTP client from my machine at home.
I have a NAS running embedded Linux (BusyBox with FFP) and I've set up a cron job to run a script to mirror this FTP site down to the NAS. This script worked a few times but then I noticed that the data on disk wasn't getting updated, so I tried running the script from an SSH session. The output from the mirror command updates the console a couple of times saying "Getting directory contents" and then it errors with:
Unknown command `;'.
The script is as follows
#! /ffp/bin/bash HOST='xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' USER='UserName' PASS='Password' TARGETFOLDER='/path/to/local/directory' SOURCEFOLDER='.' LOGNAME="$(date +%F-%H-%M-%S).log" lftp -f " open $HOST user $USER $PASS mirror -P 2 -n --log=$LOGNAME --verbose $SOURCEFOLDER $TARGETFOLDER bye " LFTP is version 4.0.7.
