A couple of days late, but better then never (it helps to send it to the right address).
Hello Alvarez, I've been browsing the LFTP mailing list for awhile, and since I'm also using lftp on Aix (4.3, 5.1, 5.2 & 5.3), I thought I would chime in. I take it by ftps you are doing something like this? lftp ftps://host As far as I can tell when specifying ftps as the protocol, lftp is expecting the server it's connecting to, to be setup with FTP/TLS in implicit mode (usually on port 990), if it's NOT setup using implicit mode it doesn't seem to work. Or at least that's what I've seen happen when using with a Proftpd/TLS server (that I'm also in charge of). If the remote server is expecting you to connect to the default ftp port (22), but use FTP/TLS, then it's likely configured to use explicit mode. In that case you might want to try debug 12 set ftp:ssl-auth TLS set ftp:ssl-force true set ftp:ssl-allow yes set ftp:ssl-protect-list yes set ftp:ssl-protect-data yes set ftp:ssl-protect-fxp yes A couple of notes on this. I can use TLS (ssl-auth option), but some server implementations might not be setup for TLS, but an SSL version. You could try SSLv23 (I think that's the right option), also not all servers support encrypting both the Control connection (ssl-protect-list) AND the data connection (ssl-protect-data), So If you can connect, but can't list directories try turning off the data encryption.. Oh for initial testing I always set debug 12 so I can see EVERYTHING that's going on. Jonathan Kaufman Foot Locker Corporate Services, Inc.
