lftp bug: mirror [-R] didn't work with sftp connection

lftp bug: mirror [-R] didn't work with sftp connection

[Arthur Tu]

$ lftp sftp://usr@addr

I can mget or mput files with sftp connection. However, when it comes to 
directory operation, lftp always failed.

Both `mirror abc` to download whole directory or 'mirror -R abc' to 
upload whole directory didn't work. The former one stuck at 'mkdir abc' 
while the latter one stuck at 'cd abc'. So i guess it's some bugs of 
operations on local file system.


Some more information on another two conditions.
1. `sftp usr@addr`
I can use 'get -r' to download whole directory.

2. 'lftp someusr@another_addr'.
When i used lftp to connect to normal ftp servers instead of sftp ones, 
`mirror` worked.


Can someone reproduce this problem?

Yes, I have same problem.
This is the problem in version 4.4.7 of lftp - see 
http://lftp.yar.ru/news.html.
Problem is solved in 4.4.8.
As a workaround downgrade to 4.4.4, until cygwin adopts version 4.4.8.

I'll go ahead and upload 4.4.8 then.  I already have it built for i686, but
I was waiting to see if I could get it built for x86_64 too.  I haven't
gotten that to work yet though, so I'll not wait for it.

Since 4.4.7 is buggy and 4.4.4 is the fallback, I'll leave 4.4.4 as
previous and remove 4.4.7.

Hm... now I'm not so sure.  Someone else is reporting what looks like the
same problem with 4.4.8:
