1. Hi,

    

   Is there anything available to do  SFTP or FTPS?

    

   Has anyone here tried it?

   1. No, only secure sockets are available.

      1. No, only secure sockets are available.

         Ok..

          

         So can I open a secure socket, and then use the IP easy ftp protocol on top of it? 

         1. No, will not work this way, FTP commands use own socket handling system.

            1. Do you have any host based code which I could get hold of?

                

               You might spot that  I’m struggling to figure out a good solution for this.. 

            2. What kind of host do you target? While can be seen as feasible with an ARM, I suppose with a 8 bit micro is a no no.

               And, what secure FTP variant?

2. So, i’ll have to do it with a python app then..

3. ARM LPC 1765 🙂

    

   Well, any variant of secure ftp really, but the server has :-

    

    

    the standard FTP 7.5 service from Microsoft that comes with Windows Server 2008 R2.

    

   I believe the Microsoft FTP service will support the following options:

    

   ·         1. TLS-C/TLS
   – Use TLS for the connection with RFC2228 defaults. 

   2. TLS-P/SSL – Use TLS for the connection.
