Description:

LFTP is a shell-like command line FTP/HTTP client. The main two
advantages over other FTP clients are reliability and ability to
perform tasks in background. It will reconnect and reget the file
being transferred if the connection broke. You can start a transfer in
background and continue browsing on the FTP site. It does this all in
one process. When you have started background jobs and feel you are
done, you can just exit lftp and it automatically moves to nohup mode
and completes the transfers. It has also such nice features as reput
and mirror.
