From their press release –
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – June 13, 2007 - Answering the call for an open source option from Information Technology professionals, Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) announced today that businesses will soon be able to operate QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions® from Linux servers. It is the first time the company has made one of its products available to users of open source systems.
This little program runs as a temporary server, possibly on your local machine or wherever you can run it, and shows you in plaintext what it receives thru FTP or POP3… in order to recover passwords saved in a program.
By default, many FTP servers don’t list ‘.’ and ‘..’ (current and parent directories) which confuses lftp when uploading a mirorr copy. What happens is that lftp sends a “list” command and, if it’s in an empty directory, lftp gets nothing back.
Solution: use
set ftp:list-options -a
This forces the remote ftp server to include ‘.’ and ‘..’ to keep lftp happy.
