How to use ftp over SSL client on command prompt ?
Hello.I want to ask a question about ftp.exe (or a kind of ftp client ).My purpose is to test FTP7.0's function "FTP over SSL" with a ftp client that can use on command prompt.(NotonGUI interface)Also, it's more helpful if I can get the connection report from stdout and stderr.Does ftp.exe in Microsoft OS can connect with the SSL mode ?If so, from which OS can I connect with the SSL ?Or, does the Microsoft OS have any other tool for SSL ftp connectionIf you have any information abouta third party ware that have a function above, please let me know.Thank you very much for your help!

Hi, Based on my research, the utility ftp.exe does not support FTPS (FTP over SSL) so far. Therefore, you will have to use an SSL-capable FTP client such as SFTPPlus to perform the test. In addition, here is a website about Using FTP Over SSL for your reference: Using FTP Over SSL http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/304/using-ftp-over-ssl/ Hope it helps.

Hello, Checkout this SFTP lib . This has a console application that you might want to use. If you also need FTP, checkout this FTP page from the same vendor.
