In https://github.com/ucberkeley/brc-draft-documentation/wiki/Transferring-Data-Between-Savio-and-Your-UC-Berkeley-Box-Account, add at least summary information on performing file transfers with the lftp tool.
We might at least cover the lftp commands: ls, cd, get, mget, put, and mput.
Per Wynn Meyer, lftp's mirror command is also powerful and useful:
The command to transfer a directory recursively (including everything inside it) is just 'mirror ' for downloading from box, and 'mirror -R ' for uploading to box.
Note that the mirror command might involve some element of risk: of overwriting existing files where that isn't desired. There are many options to this command - see the canonical 'man' page at http://lftp.yar.ru/lftp-man.html - and perhaps we might recommend some combination and/or best practices for minimizing that risk.
