ftps (ssl) for HP-UX 11i

[Jim Purtell]

Does anyone know of a product for 11i that would allow ssl enabled ftps access to our DMZ ftp server?

The only thing I was able to find was 'curl' - it seems this is only a client.

Thanks in advance (points will be awarded)

Jim,

I think you can just use sftp against your server.

Speak on the topic of your question.

I only wonder why ftp is being considered and not openssh sftp, which can work with VPN tunnels and has secure authentication built into the base product, not engineered in after the fact.

vsftpd is a ftp server that allows the use of SSL for data encryption. In the INSTALL file you can see:

Tested platforms (well, it builds)
- HP-UX / GNU tools


I use it on Linux, I never tested on HP-UX.

Marcel,
ftps is ssl enabled and sftp is ssh enabled.

SEP,
To answer your question, it's a client of ours that's insisting we be able to handle the ftps protocol. I wouldn't be going through this if it werenâ t necessary. ;-)

Ivan,
This looks like it 'might' work. Thought I was hoping to have a supported approach, if you know what I mean.

Hi Jim,

How about using ProFTPD server ? It is part of Internet Express package and you can enable SSL

Take a look at ProFTPD-SSL how to,

and, Internet Express is here, http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXIEXP1111

Like Ivan, I recommend vsftpd.
http://vsftpd.beasts.org/

and for an FTP/TLS client to test against it:
CoreFTP-LE

Thanks everyone. I believe we're going with SFTPPlus as a solution. This incorporates the vsftpd as previously suggested.

Thanks again to all the responses -
Jim
