Hi!

(using v 4.5.2)

I wonder how to prevent retries and to make LFTP fail-exit on connection
problems (when the server is down, for instance).

I have a command file like this:

set ftp:use-feat false
set dns:fatal-timeout 50
set net:max-retries 1
set cmd:fail-exit true
set ftp:sync-mode true
set ftp:use-site-utime false
set net:connection-limit 1
set ftp:nop-interval 15
set net:timeout 30
open ilprt1.ilnet.se
cd "/hold"
put xxx -o yyy

and get these reoccuring attempts until it succeeds:

Is there any option I can use to make it abort and fail with non-zero
return code instead of retrying?

Thanks!
