Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Lftp sftp get - script renames the local file with suffix tilde Post 302929559 by vhegde1011 on Monday 22nd of December 2014 06:01:25 PM

Thanks.
As per Man page, xfer:make-backup (boolean) : when true, lftp renames pre-existing file adding ‘~’ suffix instead of overwriting it.
Default value for above variable is ‘yes’. So before executing the get command disable the backup option for the current session.

Code:
lftp sftp://$USER:$PASS@$HOST:10022 -e "set xfer:make-backup no; get $REMOTE_FILE; bye"

It worked.
