Description:

I used to use lftp-4.4.5 to transfer data via sftp protocol, and the mirror command works just fine for both download and upload. But since lftp 4.4.6, I can only get an empty directory when using the mirror command for download or upload. Then lftp hangs and eat up an entire cpu core.

I am not sure whether there are similar problems in other protocols, since I never use them.

Additional info:

* package version(s): lftp-4.4.6 and lftp-4.4.7

Steps to reproduce:

1. connect to a server via sftp protocol
2. use 'mirror [directory]' to download or 'mirror -R [directory]' to upload
3. lftp stops to response

This task depends upon
