sftp over TLS (using X.509v3 certificate with Secure Shell ?.

[Onno Batavier]

I need to communicate with a sftp server which uses RFC 959 (FTP)/ RFC 2246 (TLS v1). I installed HP-UX Secure Shell but cannot find a way to configure the sftp client to use the certificate or even use TLS authentication.

Is Secure Shel (sftp) able to use TLS ?, is there a document describing this ?, I'm a newby to this so any help is welcome.

I think you want an FTP over SSL (ftps) client and not an SFTP client.

The only client I really know of for hp-ux os kermit.

Hmm I'm not used to compile things, I there not any precompiled binary or easy install product I can use ?.

You can find precompiled bins for it.

Have a look at the documentation online for installation and usage instructions.
