sync-foscams-noShell.lftp

# USAGE: run this script with lftp like: lftp -f sync_script.lftp
#
# - Copy/paste/modify the command group, below, for each camera you have.
# - Schedule this to run regularly using cron/etc.


# - First, we use "!" to execute a shell command: send a web query to the camera
#   which starts the builtin FTP server if it's not already started...
# - Then, we connect and auth to the camera and execute a mirror command to copy
#   from the camera's FTP root "/" to wherever you want your files copied.
