Automating Bookshare

[Steve Dawes]

Here is a sample lftp script.
I have documented it for you to understand what you need to do to make it
work.
Lines starting with a # are the comments.
To call a lftp script do the following:
lftp -f SampleScript.lftp

SampleScript.lftp
# LFTP script to automate a file(s) transfer.

# Log into the desired Web site with your userid and password.
If you do not need a userid and password, remove the "-u userid,password"
from the next line.
open -u USERID,PASSWORD URL
#UReplace USERID,PASSWORD with your login information.
# URL E.G. https//your.domain.com/ (NOTE the "/" at the end of the line is
important)

# Change the local directory to where you want to store the downloaded
files.
lcd MyDownloads

# Change to the location of the files to be transferred.
cd FileLocation/ # (Again the "/" is necessary)

# now get the file(s)
mget **.FileExtention # (change mget to get for a single file)
# to get a directory, use
# mirror DirectoryName/ (the "/" is not necessary)

# Log out
bye

# End-of-script

If you have any questions, let me know.
