On Unix, the ssh-convert-ftp
command has to be run
to activate FTP-SFTP conversion.
For example, to start an FTP session to
ftp.example.org
with FTP-SFTP conversion enabled, run the
following command:
$ ssh-convert-ftp ftp ftp.example.org
SSH Tectia client/server solution has an option to allow plaintext FTP used if the secure
SFTP connection cannot be established. To enable the fallback to
plaintext FTP, add the -F
or --fallback
option
to the command:
$ ssh-convert-ftp -F ftp ftp.example.org
Note | |
---|---|
Make sure the client application uses passive mode for file transfer connections. When SSH Tectia Client is connected to a plaintext FTP server in fallback mode, file transfers in active mode are not supported. |
To start a bash shell session with FTP-SFTP conversion enabled for all commands, run the following command:
$ ssh-convert-ftp bash
