skip some subdirectories on lftp

i'm using lftp to download data.

my command looks like

lftp -u $ftpuser,$ftppass -p 21 $ftpserver -e "set ftp:ssl-allow on; set ssl:check-hostname no; mirror -P $ftpconnections $ftproot $backupfolder/$date-$user/ --exclude images/product_images/popup_images/ --exclude images/product_images/info_images/ --exclude images/product_images/thumbnail_images/ --exclude-glob '*.log*' --exclude-glob '*.zip*'; quit"

excluding those sub-directories doesn't work, the system's still downloading them and i don't know why...

--exclude images/ works fine, but that's not what i want...

Here's the solution for everyone with the same problem.

the command should be

lftp -u $ftpuser,$ftppass -p 21 $ftpserver -e "set ftp:ssl-allow on; set ssl:check-hostname no; mirror -P $ftpconnections $ftproot $backupfolder/$date-$user/ --exclude popup_images/ --exclude info_images/ --exclude thumbnail_images/   --exclude-glob '*.log*'  --exclude-glob '*.zip*'; quit"

So my problem was that i tried to exclude a server path instead of just the name of the folder.
