LFTP is a powerful, secure and reliable file transfer program. It is a command-line tool specifically designed to handle a wide range of file transfer protocols, including FTP, FTPS, SFTP, and HTTP. It is also capable of handling complex operations, such as recursive file transfers, mirroring, and transferring files between two different servers. LFTP supports multiple server connections and provides a large number of features and options, including support for IPv6, passive mode and proxy servers. Additionally, LFTP can be used with a wide range of scripting languages, such as Bash and Python, for automation of complex file transfer tasks.
