Here's the set of lftp aliases to put into the lftp rc file. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- alias cygdn "lcd ~/cygwin/cygwin.lftp && cd / && mirror --scan-all-first --use-cache -evvv" alias cygup "lcd ~/cygwin/cygwin.lftp && cd / && mirror -X \\!packages --scan-all-first --use-cache -Revvv" alias cygtst "lcd ~/cygwin/cygwin.lftp && cd / && mirror -X \\!packages --scan-all-first --use-cache -Revvv --dry-run" alias cyggo "!touch -- x86{,_64}/\!ready && mput x86*/*ready" --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- You might want to play with the mirror:parallel-directories and mirror:parallel-transfer-count settings, although sourceware is just really slow for me ATM no matter which settings. I've also created a bookmark for cygwin so that lftp doesn't ask for a password (since cygwin is a password-less user). BTW, on the command line you can achieve the same effect using the '-u cygwin,' option. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- cygwin sftp://cygwin:@cygwin.com --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So, 106 packages all uploaded. Wish me luck⦠:-) Regards, Achim. -- +<[Q+ Matrix-12 WAVE#46+305 Neuron microQkb Andromeda XTk Blofeld]>+ Samples for the Waldorf Blofeld: http://Synth.Stromeko.net/Downloads.html#BlofeldSamplesExtra
