💖 lftpget — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for lftpget, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section of the manual pages. yes it's a whole little command and yes it deserves its own page, we love that for it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

lftpget — get a file with lftp(1)

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it gets a file, and it does it through lftp. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lftpget [-c] [-d] [-v] URL [URL...]

so you give it a URL, and if you're feeling generous you can hand it a whole pile of URLs, like URL [URL...] — no cap, it'll take as many as you want to throw at it 🦋

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so this manual page documents the lftpget command briefly — like, it's not gonna write you a novel, it's giving quick-and-useful.

here's the tea: lftpget is a shell script for downloading by URL, and what it actually does is call lftp -c. that's the whole trick, and it ate. 💀✨

and the best part? it supports the same set of protocols as lftp does, including:

• ftp
• http
• fish
• sftp

so whatever your fave protocol is, she's got you 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

three little flags, three little besties. here we go:

• -c — Continue a previous download. like, pick up where you left off, no restarting from zero, we are not doing that today 💅
• -d — Debug output. for when you're nosy and you want to see what's actually going on under the hood 🔍
• -v — Verbose messages. she will talk to you. a lot. very chatty, very main character 💖
