Lftp Automation

lftp FTPS/FTP Automation

We want to use ftps which uses FTP over TLS/SSL. This is not the same as sftp which is FTP over SSH.

• FTP Server:
• Port: 990
• User name:
• Password:

The user name does not allow @. This may be possible somehow.

Example with lftp command line FTP/FTPS program

FTPS Example

Note that you must specify ftps:// in the URL.

lftp -c "open -p990 -u <user>,<pass> ftps://<FTP Server>; ls"

FTP Example

$ lftp -c "open -u <user>,<pass> <FTP Server>; ls"

This can be used to send and receive files automatically via scripted action.

Security

Always use FTPS over port 990.

Standard (Port 21) or Implicit SSL/TLS (Port 990) are available.
