LFTP - to download files that are between 0 and 3 days old

Im writing a script and i specifically need it to download files that are between 0-2 days old. This will run every 2 days. I understand lftp supports newer files only, but these files will be removed from the target so this is not what we want.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Is this what im looking for?
