Seeking FTP server for Linux, which supports FTPS.

Hi Guys,
do you know if there is any ftp server than can support FTPS?

lftp will do ftps among other things.

Type "man lftp".

Note that ftps is a Windows thing. On UNIX/Linux sftp and scp are preferred but they don't talk to ftps. You should try to use sftp or scp unless you absolutely have to use ftps.

Note that lftp is a client utility (not a server).

I've set up FTPS (ftp over SSL/TLS) on vsftpd installations. Fairly straightforward if you follow the docs.

so i can use vsftpd as a ftp server and from the client side anything will work (like ftpzilla, smartftp...)?

Hi,

I use vsftpd at ftp server and filezilla at the client side. so far no problem.

The client side will, of course, need to support FTPS in order for it to work. One client option: lftp.

Hi Guys,
i just wanted prompt for your suggestions if you know any reliable, FTPS (supporting implicit and explicit SSL connections) server that can be used on CentOS, i have windows clients on AD. i looked and found CrushFTP it's going to cost me around 100$, money is not an issue but i prefer though using an open source product, do you know any that support FTPS and Active directory users?
thanks a lot!

I believe that vsftpd can do this, but you may have some 'entertainment' in getting it configured. Some things I've found:

Install the winbind package, which will allow authentication to a remote AD server. After that, set your login policy to check there after searching local authentication methods. May cause a small login delay, but shouldn't be too bad.
