When I run an lftp command like this:
mirror --use-pget-n=10 "My Directory"
sometimes I find myself in a situation, that the computer was unexpectedly shutdown, say, during a blackout.
After that, if I examine my local folder "My Directory" I see:
- Some of the file from "My Directory" that finished downloading
- Absence of some files that did not start to download
- A single in progress file, eg. "ThisIsAFileThatHappenedToBeInPogressWhenTheBlackoutHappened.bin"
- A single file with segments map of that file above "ThisIsAFileThatHappenedToBeInPogressWhenTheBlackoutHappened.bin.lftp-pget-status"
It feels to me that there should be command that will allow me to continue the segmented download, yet, I cannot figure it out. Here is what I tried:
mirror --continue "My Directory"
This does not do the segmented download at all, all remaining files are downloaded in a single stream
mirror --continue --use-pget-n=10 "My Directory"
It also appears to re-start the download of all remaining files in several streams but not of the incomplete file.
What am I doing wrong?
Note: linux server, windows client, transfer by sftp
Update: After looking at the source code it appears to me that this is impossible. I'm leaving this question up in a hope that someone can suggest a workaround.
