Hello, I have been using lftp for a while and love it! Thank you very much.
When mirroring it would be a huge help if it was possible to have
multiple source directories. example: If i do "mirror a b c stuff/" it
will mirror the remote directories a b and c into stuff/
but with this also brings to light the problem of tab completions. how
would lftp know when to tab complete for remote or local directories,
besides knowing the first one you start typing is of course the remote
directory. the best way im thinking is to add an option like "-o
local/" and always tab complete for remote directory until the -o
option is typed (tho if -o is not given the last directory would still
be used as local directory so that old scripts work as expected)
and it already looks like this is a bug with mirror and tab
completion. whenever i type the argument for an option, like "-x git"
it will start tab completing for the local directories when I want it
to tab complete for remote. it seems this is since i typed the word
"git" which is not preceded with a -/--
doing "mirror sourcedir target/ -x hi" actually does work and allows
me to type the directories with proper tab completion and still add
the options, but the man section for mirror specifies to do the
options before source/target directories, Are there any potential
problems/bugs with putting the options at end?
It looks like --exclude=hi also works at beginning of command and
doesnt break the tab completion after it, but that is a lot more
typing :P
Thanks,
Dan
