up to date lftp builds for windows
Research
I have been reseaching on howto get lftp with sftp/ssh working property on windows, it is a bit funky running under windows using standalone cygwin binaries, but it does work
Some things i noticed is
- You have to add
./ssh.exe or ssh.exe to commandline to get it to work correctly
(on chocolately ssh works)
You have to use /cygdrive/driveletter/folder as source or dest path depending on which way you want to mirror- using quotes works like "C:\path\folder\" (thanks todd)
if you want to cancel a download press Ctrl + C
and am fully aware ssh.exe will spawn a few windows for each process, this started to happen in the latest lftp builds on windows 10 for some reason (fixed in 4.6.4?)

- Full credits goes to lftp developers for their awesome software, donate to them
- new builds are also heartbleed fixed
- having issues?, first test it on a linux system to confirm its a real lftp bug or a cygwin issue, post in the blog forum, to cygwin issue tracker or lftp issue tracker
You can use the choco package manager for windows
