FTP over TLS/SSL in Linux without installing external package?

We have a non-root account on a Linux server, so it can not install package we have to ftps to another machine in this server.

If I try this :

>ftp [machinName]

after inserting username, it shows the following error:

534 policy requires ssl ftp

how can I handle FTP over SSL without external package such as lftp, curl, ...

My Linux: SUSE Linux version 11

Solution

  • Most *nix servers come with some scripting language installed. PHP or Python have FTPS (FTP over TLS/SSL) functions.

    So you can write a PHP/Python script for your FTPS task.
