It looks like lftp is not running like I thought it would :/ Until I
ran the following commands manually instead of through CRON, some
files on the remote source FTP server dated May 6th/7th were not
downloaded locally and then uploaded to the target remote FTP server:

1. Here's the script:

# cat /var/sync.bash 

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
echo "Downloading from Source FTP"
lftp -u joe,sixpack -e "mirror -vn ./files /var/depot && bye"
ftp.source.com

echo "Uploading to Target FTP"
lftp -u joe,sixpack -e "mirror -vnR /var/depot ./downloads && bye"
ftp.target.com

2. When run manually:

# ./sync.bash 
Downloading from Source FTP
Total : 1 directory, 41 files, 0 symlinks
Uploading to Target FTP
Total : 1 directory, 41 files, 0 symlinks
To be removed: 0 directories, 2 files, 0 symlinks

3. CRON:

# crontab -l
5,35 * * * * /var/sync.bash >/dev/null 2>&1

=> What does "To be removed: 0 directories, 2 files, 0 symlinks"
actually mean?

Thanks for any tip.
