It uses shell-like command syntax allowing you to launch -several commands in parallel in background (&). - -Some commands allow redirecting its output (cat, ls) to file or via -pipe to external command. Commands can be started conditionally based -on termination status of previous command (&&, ||). Also, it is -possible to group commands within () and execute them in background. -All background jobs are executed in the same single process. You can -bring a foreground job to background with ^Z and back with command -`wait' (or `fg' which is alias to `wait'). - -When you think you are done but some jobs are not yet finished, you -can just exit and lftp will move itself to nohup mode in background. -The same happens when you have a real hangup. - -lftp has reliable put, reput, mirror, and many other commands. Use -command `help' or read documentation to learn more. - -Every operation in lftp is reliable, that is any not fatal error is -ignored and the operation is repeated. So if downloading breaks, it -will be restarted from the point automatically. Even if ftp server -does not support REST command, lftp will try to retrieve the file from -the very beginning until the file is transferred completely. +lftp is quite a powerful ftp client.
