I've never used ftp in a script.  I push or pull backups around with
rsync.  If I need to download something from an ftp or http site, I'll
use wget but I dont' think you can push with wget.  If you _really_ need
something like that, I suppose you could write wpush.

However, there may be a reason that what you're trying to do does work.
Rather than looking at getting lftp to do what you want, what is it that
you want in general; what task is it you are trying to do with lftp?

Doug.
