wordmove require lftp. (In order to work over FTP connections)

lftp have a lot of dependencies and is very hard install it in mac osX yosemite

In internet can find several ways to install, but many do not work in all osX installation.

I suggest this (tested and working)

  1. install Xcode from : https://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/
  2. go to terminal
  3. install homebrew : ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
  4. apply homebrew doctor : brew doctor
  5. install lftp : brew install lftp

that's all folks!!!

P.S. : sometime lftp do Fatal error: Certificate verification: subjectAltName does not match

I suggest this :

  1. go to terminal
  2. create a lftp path : mkdir ~/.lftp
  3. create a configuration file for lftp : nano ~/.lftp/rc
  4. disable certificate verification writing : set ssl:verify-certificate no
  5. save ( ^o e ^x )
  6. exit from terminal
