Thanks for the report. I just tried this on my linux host and it works fine there. I don't have a Cygwin host here but will check the behavior you report on Monday. Unfortunately, I don't have any idea what would make this happen in Cygwin and not in Linux. For the Cygwin package I just compile the upstream source, with no changes. Best chance would be to report this problem upstream: see http://lftp.yar.ru/list.html, or gmane.network.lftp.user. Are you running Cygwin 1.5, or 1.7? Upgrading to 1.7 would be worth a try if you haven't yet. BTW, lftp is currently stuck at version 3.7.6 in Cygwin, because I can't get any later versions to run there-- they all segfault at start. I've been meaning to report this problem upstream, too. So obviously there are some Cygwin problems with lftp right now.
