FTPES or FTP w/"Require explicit FTP over TLS"

I am looking for an CLI based BASH SCRIPTABLE FTPES or ftp wtih "Require explicit FTP over TLS" support.

I currently use rsync with an SSH login to accomplish sync up two servers.. the new server doesn't support this, and is out of my control to change to this format.

NOTE: curlftpfs is deprecated, outdated, and not worked on in the last 5 years so is out!

Anything to get rsync to work with ftpes? Or even as a last resort https? Most report rsync won't work this way... so...

I currently use (sanitzed for security):

/usr/bin/rsync --progress -avzr --rsh="(ssh login)" host:dir syncdir
 

Works great... run it about every 3 hours syncs up the files...

Lots of links to adding ftpes to a proftpd server etc.. nothing specific to a CLIENT for ftpes.

Any one?

Thanks!

Afraid not.. No shell access at all. so sftp is out ...the host supports only

https

or

FTPES w/"Require explicit FTP over TLS"

sftp does not require shell access and in many administratively applied configurations shell access via ssh is disabled.

Man I was going to say "stunnel that bitch, Bitchez love stunnel" but you're having to deal with FTP !21 ftp-data ports which are client negotiated and can be ephemeral.

What about some unholy conjuring of https + webdav + rsync -- »tomalison.com/reference/ ··· /webdav/

Caveats - Bitches do not like webdav.

The host supports

FTP w/Explicit TLS

OR

HTTPS

That is it..

No shell access period or any other access other than the above. Matter of fact they got quite testy when I tried sftp, rysnc etc... and they failed.. we got some very terse emails about "Don't do that again!"

I would use some one else but this host is not of my choosing and I am stuck will dealing with it. if sftp was allowed I would just use sftp and expect and script it that way... but it won't connect... this is how I found out the way this is set up.... I am not a happy camper... existing script dust... pain in the posterior protocol to use which is not scriptable...

I was just stating that sftp does not require user shell access to operate.

Description-en: Sophisticated command-line FTP/HTTP client programs
 Lftp is a file retrieving tool that supports FTP, HTTP, FISH, SFTP, HTTPS
 and FTPS protocols under both IPv4 and IPv6. Lftp has an amazing set of
 features, while preserving its interface as simple and easy as possible.
 .
 The main two advantages over other ftp clients are reliability and ability
 to perform tasks in background. It will reconnect and reget the file being
 transferred if the connection broke. You can start a transfer in background
 and continue browsing on the ftp site. It does this all in one process. When
 you have started background jobs and feel you are done, you can just exit
 lftp and it automatically moves to nohup mode and completes the transfers.
 It has also such nice features as reput and mirror. It can also download a
 file as soon as possible by using several connections at the same time.
 .
 Lftp can also be scriptable, it can be used to mirror sites, it lets you
 copy files among remote servers (even between FTP and HTTP). It has an
 extensive online help. It supports bookmarks, and connecting to several
 ftp/http sites at the same time.
 .
 This package also includes lftpget - A simple non-interactive
 tool for downloading files.

it sounds like you're looking for a ftpes client.

couldnt you just use cURL? (not curlftpfs, that seems to be something else entirely)

thier faq says it's supported and can be used for uploading and downloading of files using ftps.

I'm surprised it took so long to say, but I second lftp.

It will do exactly what your looking for and is fairly straightforward to have it do rsync like mirroring.

I've heard of it, but honestly, have never used it. I know you're in a unique captive situation so I hate to just toss things out there but this one seemed solid. I've never been in a situation like yours (as in, so restrictive) so I can appreciate the frustration with the dictated remote connectivity options. Keep us updated if you don't mind bro. I'm a huge fan of rsync, ncftp, nc, stunnel, etc but your situation is pretty unique and I appreciate the opportunity to learn more; this at least has pointed me to lftp.
