NAME

ftps - secure FTP to connect to the server using SSL

SYNOPSIS

edrc/bin/ftps [ -h ]

ftps [ -script script-file | host [ port ]]

AVAILABILITY

WA2L/edrc

DESCRIPTION

Secure FTP is an FTP program that allows for a secure connection to be made to an FTP server via a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). This version of Secure FTP supports both implicit and explicit SSL connections.

With no port specified, an implicit SSL connection is attempted on port 990 (the default for implicit SSL connections). If a connection cannot be made implicitly, an explicit SSL connection is attempted on port 21 (the default for explicit SSL connections). These default ports can be changed by defining the properties:

  default.port.ssl.implicit and default.port.ssl.explicit.

For example, you would set the default implicit port to 12345 by saying:

  java -jar -Ddefault.port.ssl.implicit=12345 secureftp2.jar

Scripting Secure FTP:

Secure FTP supports simple scripting. A script is nothing more than a line-by-line representation of what would be entered at the command line. A sample script might look like:

  # Sample Secure FTP script
  open ftp.glub.com
  user demo <pass>
  lcd /tmp
  lmkdir test
  lcd test
  cd /pub
  mget *
  quit

To call this script, from the shell command line you would pass in the arguments:

  -script <path to script>/<file>

Additional Help:
