lftp mirror leaves empty folders on remote
The Next CEO of Stack OverflowHow to determine if a bash variable is empty?List all empty folderslftp, setting for ignoring time-stamp?Mirror directory, only purging files in destination directory older than 7 daysMirror remote mailbox (gmail) locallyRecursively delete empty folders with verbose outputlftp mirror files from a directory tree into single directoryCorrect usage of lftp mirror --older-thancron and lftp issuelftp reverse mirror silently skips files in subfolders
My script is set up with this for lftp
lftp -p 2218 -u $login,$pass sftp://$host << EOF
set mirror:use-pget-n 5
mirror -c -P5 --depth-first --Remove-source-files --log=/home/dog/downloadsync.log $remote_dir $local_dir
And it works great, except it leaves empty folders on the remote directory EVERY STINKING TIME. I've tried without --depth-first and it still will leave them.
I've tried adding a rmdir * after the mirror, and before the quit, but it creates some serious problems if the script crashes [don't ask that story] Is there any solution?
