How to use implicit FTP over TLS

ftpftpsssl

Using any FTP client (I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 and tried using lftp), I want to be able to make an implicit TLS connection to a FTP server, but I can't quite manage to successfully connect. All I am getting is: 'ls' at 0 [Delaying before reconnect 29]

Best Answer

Give this a try:

$ lftp
lftp :~> set ftp:ssl-force true
lftp :~> connect ftp.domain.tld
lftp ftp.domain.tld:~> login <username>

NOTE: If the server is making use of self signed certificates you may need to add this set as well:

lftp :~> set ssl:verify-certificate no

TLS over unix pipe

You can use socat.

#client
socat PIPE:/tmp/spipe OPENSSL:server:4443,cafile=server.crt,cert=client.pem

#server
socat -u OPENSSL-LISTEN:4443,reuseaddr,pf=ip4,fork,cert=server.pem,cafile=client.crt PIPE:/tmp/spipe

socat has lots of features, so you could maybe avoid the pipes at all.

EDIT: added the -u (unidirectional) option to server's socat - without it, the pipe works as an echo service.
