Re: Run for a certain time

You can run lftp with timeout
https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/timeout-invocation.html
and then use the -c option on the internal lftp command to continue where
it left off.

So, something like:

timeout 6h lftp -e 'get -c "https://example.com/my_file.txt";quit'
