Making a Double Commander button that copies selected files to cloud storage via lftp.
Double Commander, ADrive and Lftp. Ok, so Double Commander is the file manager I am using on linux, having converted from Windows where I always used Total Commander. ADrive is the cloud storage I use because its an easy name to remember. Lftp is my preferred ftp program since it saved my bacon by allowing mirroring with lots of options, in particular one which automatically deletes the source files once they have been transferred. This sounds dangerous, and it normally would be, but it allowed me to read many, many magnetic tapes with tar on a very old computer which had a disk with a storage capacity that was much less than any of the tapes I had to read. As the files were read off each tape, they were periodically synchronised to a USB disk on a laptop via ethernet-crossover cable and scrubbed off the old computer's disk to create space for more files coming off the tape. This sounds dangerous but it worked pretty well since, as each file is read off tape, even if it is deleted...
