Download and delete remote files using lftp

Question

I can't figure out how to download AND delete remote files using lftp using the command line only.

Using bash is also OK.

What are the flags and the full command line? All I can figure out is the mirror command, but that leaves files on the remote server.

Answer 1

Finally figured it out... use the flag "--Remove-source-files" with mirror and all is well.

Like this:

lftp sftp://${username}@${host} -u ${username},${password} -e "mirror --Remove-source-files --verbose ${remote_dir} ${local_dir}; bye"
