What I don't understand is what it is that determines which
files will appear in an ls command within lftp. Presumably it is
something configured on the host server.
I would guess that it just parses the HTML it receives and tries to
locate links to files.
A very brief look at the source of lftp seems to confirm it.
HttpDir.cc contains a function called parse_html.
So, had Carsten included a link to org.tar.gz on the front page of
orgmode.org, I would guess lftp would have listed it. It's not
magic.
