LFTP.CONF(5)

💖 lftp.conf — the global config file for lftp 💖

okay bestie, welcome to lftp.conf(5), from the File Formats Manual section 🎀 — yes this is a whole man page about one config file and honestly? iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

lftp.conf — the global configuration file for lftp 🌸

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea ☕ — the /etc/lftp.conf configuration file changes the default behavior of lftp, and it affects the settings for all users. it's giving "we're all in this together" energy fr fr.

if you want options that are just for you, your own lil vibe, you set those in either the ~/.lftprc file or the ~/.lftp/rc file instead. 🫶

these configuration files get read when lftp starts up, and the parameters defined in them take effect at that time. so like, at launch, boom, they're live. ✨

and it's not just lftp's configuration options either — aliases and set commands can also be defined in any of these configuration files. 💅

if you want the full rundown on that, go peek at the Command and Settings sections of the lftp man page for more details. iykyk 📖
