I've been using the 'mirror' command for this, which has a bunch more
options for synching files, permissions, link handling, etc
just a guess about the 'spare' directories, have you tried 'rm -rf'?
Yep I've tried rm -rf file, mrm -rf * etc etc, all to no avail, My guess
is it is a NTL server problem, does this sound reasonable ?
well, 'possible' maybe. It's hard to imagine they're doing anything to
prevent you from deleting directories called 'spare' or 'spare2'. Did
you create those directories?
a glance at 'man lftp' does reveal this:
ls params
List remote files. You can redirect output of this command to file or
via pipe to external command. By default, ls output is cached, to see
new listing use rels or cache flush.
so maybe try 'rels' &/or 'cache flush'
but 'rm -rf' should've taken care of that too. unless, I guess, there's
something that appeared in there since your last cache which you don't own.
but really, this is a wild guess too; I never saw this with lftp. I
mostly wanted to point out the 'mirror' command in response to your
second question. While I have the man page open, here is the summary of
options:
mirror [OPTS] [source [target]]
Mirror specified source directory to local target directory. If target
directory ends with a slash, the source base name is appended to target
directory name. Source and/or target can be URLs pointing to directo-
ries.
-c, --continue continue a mirror job if possible
-e, --delete delete files not present at remote site
-s, --allow-suid set suid/sgid bits according to remote site --allow-chown try to set owner and group on files
-n, --only-newer download only newer files (-c won't work)
-r, --no-recursion don't go to subdirectories
-p, --no-perms don't set file permissions
--no-umask don't apply umask to file modes
-R, --reverse reverse mirror (put files)
-L, --dereference download symbolic links as files
-N, --newer-than FILE download only files newer than the file
-P, --parallel[=N] download N files in parallel
-i RX, --include RX include matching files
-x RX, --exclude RX exclude matching files
-I GP, --include-glob GP include matching files
-X GP, --exclude-glob GP exclude matching files
-v, --verbose[=level] verbose operation
--use-cache use cached directory listings
--Remove-source-files remove files after transfer (use with caution)
-a same as --allow-chown --allow-suid --no-umask
When using -R, the first directory is local and the second is remote.
If the second directory is omitted, base name of first directory is
used. If both directories are omitted, current local and remote direc-
tories are used.
RX is an extended regular expression, just like in egrep(1).
GP is a glob pattern, e.g. `*.zip'.

as you can see, it offers a lot more control than 'mput -d'
