LFTP4WIN Installer
This is a deployment tool that allows you to install a portable and configured Cygwin x64 installation to use with the LFTP4WIN-CORE solution.
The script is configured to install the required components automatically and you don't need to edit anything to get this to work out of the box. Just follow the installation instructions.
If you require a specific setting to be modified, configuration options are set in the LFTP4WIN-installer.cmd
using a text editor.
Installation
Download and extract the LFTP4WIN-installer.cmd
to a folder where you want to install LFTP4WIN.
Warning: Though this can be installed to a path with spaces in it, it's best to not have spaces in the path as it will most likely break stuff in Cygwin unexpectedly.
Once Cygwin has been installed LFTP4WIN-CORE
will be downloaded and applied to the Cygwin installation.
When the installer is finished it will look like this.
Note: If the install was not complete because your firewall blocks parts of the setup (curl) you can simply run the installer over to download the required files.
