[SOLVED] LFTP options

Timothy Miller · 04-04-2017, 03:12 PM

So, I'm trying to ftp some files to a client. We'll be automating the transfers via a simple cron job, so it requires a command line ftp client. I've set up filezilla to verify that the connections work and the username/password has the correct authorization, and am trying to get lftp to work also. The problem I'm running into is that I have no idea how to set up the connection with lftp. In Filezilla, I had to set it to force passive mode (instead of "default") and choose "Require explicit FTP over TLS" for encryption in order to connect. In /etc/lftp.conf, I've tried setting

set ftp:ssl-auth TLS
set ftp:ssl-force yes
set ftp:ssl-protect-list yes

But still can't transfer files or even do an ls. Any ideas of what the lftp equivalent of Require explicit FTP over TLS is?

I think I got it!!

Ended up I needed my lftp.conf settings to have

Code:

set ftp:ssl-allow yes
set ftp:ssl-auth TLS
set ftp:ssl-force yes
set ssl:verify-certificate no
set ftp:ssl-protect-data yes
set ftp:ssl-protect-list yes

And I needed to FORCE the port to stay on 21 (even though ftps is usually on 990).
