I've just started using lftp for remote transferring files on my Raspberry Pi running Debian. I know how to transfer the files, and use queue
and jobs
to add and view transferring files.
However, I'm not actually sure on how to view these transfers once lftp moves to the background. The lftp man page mentions how lftp is moving to the background, but when I open a new instance of the program from shell and type jobs
, the queue is empty. However, I can clearly see using my file manager that the transfers are still happening, as the files are there and growing in size.
I'm guessing that when I reopen lftp, it's just opening a new instance that isn't connected to the nohup
mode lftp that has the active queue. I've tried searching various places, but no one else seems to have this particular issue.
So, I guess what I'm asking is twofold:
Is there a way to easily attach to the background lftp process to view the current
jobs
list?If not, is there a way to view this at all?
This is absolutely correct, though I'm very late commenting on that fact. Thank you very much. For those that come along later, pgrep actually did not work for me. I had to use "ps aux | grep lftp", as (for some reason) pgrep would sometimes not return a value when lftp was certainly running and found with ps aux. – drpfenderson – 2014-07-12T20:42:52.873
If parallel chunk downloads were initiated aka
pget
, then you can simply cat the file it generates (stored next to the actual file) to see the seek positions. Not very helpful, but gives you an indication. – Mohnish – 2018-11-10T23:49:37.367
