lftp enhancement request: command line option to inhibit loading of ~/.lftprc

[Andreas Luik]

Hello Alexander,

 
  I would like to propose a small enhancement for lftp: I use it from a cron-Job

and was looking for a way to inhibit loading of (user specific-) settings from

the ~/.lftprc or ~/.lftp/rc to make sure that settings in these file do not

(inadvertetly) influence the background job(s).  Other programs often

have a command line option to do so, but unfortunately lftp lacks it.

I would appreciate it, if you could consider to add it ...

 
Thanks for the great tool, lftp works great ...

 
PS: I understand that using a dedicated user for the cron-Job would reduce

the need for the command line option, but still I think it would be useful.




Kind regards,
--

Please see https://github.com/lavv17/lftp/commit/3de6e7eb3b11ed67ab03839fcaaea17fc0b74c70

It adds the --norc option (will be available in lftp-4.5.5).
