According to the LFTP documentation, I should be able to do: ls | grep <string> and ls | less both of which only return something if I <Ctrl+C>, if I don't <Ctrl-C> it just sits there. I don't have access to a Linux machine, so I can't verify if this is a cygwin lftp issue, or an lftp issue in general.
