Well my blog was on Wordpress, and I was happy, so why did I move away?
So I got tired of managing all this stuff, so I decide it is time to find something that won’t waste so much of my time and let me use it when I need, and not worry about if I’m gonna get hacked, or if my server is slow.
One of the best FTP clients I have ever seen is lftp, and what is even best it’s open source on Linux, if you want to use it on Windows you will have to compile it with Cygwin.
Why would someone use lftp, when there are alternatives like FileZilla, and a lot of other ones. Yes FileZilla is good and it’s free, but some of the options that are available with lftp are really good and helpful. And I know of a lot of people that use lftp for server backups on Windows Server and Linux machines to do recursive backups and mirroring.

Some interesting information about this application can be found on this page, there are various examples of how to use it on their page.
