How to upload via ftps?

[markusd112]

Hi,
uploading via ftp isn't a good idea because user name and password are not encrypted. My hosting provider supports ftps, but how to setup upload via ftps? I tried to set protocol variable to "ftps", but it doesn't really work.
I don't know what is going wrong. When trying to connect manually step by step I get the following error:

lftp :> open --user 'xxxxx' --password 'yyyyyy' 'ftps://mydomain'
---- Löse Hostadresse auf...
---- 1 Adresse gefunden: xx.xx.xx.xx
lftp xxxxxx@mydomain:> put '/tmp/test.txt' -o '/videos/x-28836' || (echo 'put of /tmp/test.txt failed!'; exit 1)
---- Verbinde mit xxxxxx.mydomain (xx.xx.xx.x) Port 990
**** Socket Fehler (Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt) - erneutes Verbinden
---- Schließe den Kontroll - Socket
Abbruch
put of /tmp/test.txt failed!

Is there any way to use ftps instead of ftp or sftp?

Thanks

Markus

@markusd112 have you been able to get it to work using a different FTP client, like Filezilla? Try that first, then copy the settings to Allsky.

@EricClaeys Yes, with filezila it works: I set it to explicite FTPS and filezilla is able to establish a connection either leaving port blank or set it to port 21. When trying to adopt this settings to lftp I get a TLS error:

lftp :~> open --user 'xxxxusername' --password 'xxxxxx' 'ftps://myserver' -p 21
---- Löse Hostadresse auf...
---- 1  Adresse gefunden: xx.xx.xx.xx
lftp xxxxusername@xxxxxx:~> put allsky/README.md
---- Verbinde mit xxxxxx (xx.xx.xx.xx) Port 21
**** gnutls_handshake: An unexpected TLS packet was received.
---- Schließe den Kontroll - Socket
put: allsky/README.md: Fataler Fehler: gnutls_handshake: An unexpected TLS packet was received.

I am not so familiar with all the ftp or TLS settings in lftp. I have tried several options I have found around in the internet, like set ftp:ssl-force true and so on, but I get it not to work....

@markusd112 All I had to do to go from "ftp" PROTOCOL to "ftps" was to change the PROTOCOL variable in config/ftp-settings.sh.
The only setting I have is set ssl:check-hostname false. I use 1and1 (IONOS) for my web site.

Try setting LFTP_COMMANDS=debug 999999999; set ftp:ssl-auth TLS in the config/ftp-settings.sh file.
