Troubleshooting

Caching

By default, LFTP caches directory listings, causing remote ls to lag behind file system changes. To fix this, run cache flush, or write set cache:enable no in your $HOME/.lftprc configuration file.

Rate limit

Run

> set net:limit-total-rate <max bytes/sec>

Or

> set net:limit-total-rate <max bytes/sec (download)>:<max bytes/sec (upload)>

before beginning transfers. Optionally, write the command in $HOME/.lftprc to remember the setting for future connections.
