There is an FTP server I'm connecting to, and it could possibly have 20-30k zip files and an assortment of subdirectories. I would like to return a list of all of these files based on their extension, so *.zip. I've ran a simple enough find command from shell to match on the extension only, and it did have a speed enhancement. When I am LFTP'd into the server however, the find command isn't the same as the one from the generic shell.
This:
find . | grep -Fi .zip
Changed to this(2x faster): find /directory -name "*.zip"
Manual:
find [OPTS] directory...List files in the directory (current directory by default) recursively. This can help with servers lacking
ls -Rsupport. You can redirect output of this command.Options:
-d MD,--max-depth=MDspecify maximum scan depth
-l,--lsuse long listing format
Is there a way in LFTP to get a list of files back and filter on file name extensions?
