I am running lftp on Raspbian

I have 100GB of content on the remote site and 100GB space available on my SD card so I need to delete files not present at the remote site from the SD card before downloading new content.

How can I achieve this?

#!/bin/bash

login="username"

pass="password"

host="server.feralhosting.com"

remote_dir="/folder/you/want/to/copy"

local_dir="/cygdrive/s/lftp/somefolder/where/you.want/your/files/"



base_name="$(basename "$0")"

lock_file='/tmp/'"$base_name"'.lock'

trap 'rm -f '"$lock_file"'' SIGINT SIGTERM

if [[ -e "$lock_file" ]]

then

  echo "$base_name is running already."

  exit 1

else

  touch "$lock_file"

  lftp -u $login,$pass $host << EOF

  set ftp:ssl-allow no

  set mirror:use-pget-n 5

  mirror -c -P5 --log='/var/log/'"$base_name"'.log' "$remote_dir" "$local_dir"

  quit

EOF

  rm -f "$lock_file"

  trap - SIGINT SIGTERM

  exit 0

fi

I found the solution.

Add the --delete-first option, so this:

mirror -c -P5 --log='/var/log/'"$base_name"'.log' "$remote_dir" "$local_dir"

becomes this:

mirror -c -P5 --delete-first --log='/home/osmc/'"$base_name"'.log' "$remote_dir" "$local_dir"

mirror -c -P5 --log='/var/log/'"$base_name"'.log' "$remote_dir" "$local_dir"

becomes this:
