Text-based FTP client settings behind the agent
I need to create a bash script to connect to the FTP server, upload the file, and close the connection. Usually this is a simple task, but I need to specify some specific proxy settings, which makes it difficult.
I can connect to FTP normally using a GUI client (i.e. Filezilla with the following settings:
).
Proxy Settings
--------------
FTP Proxy : USER@HOST
Proxy Host: proxy.domain.com
Proxy User: blank
Proxy Pass: blank
FTP Settings
------------
Host : 200.200.200.200
Port : 21
User : foo
Pass : bar
What I can’t seem to do is replicate these settings in a text-based ftp client (i.e. ftp, lftp, etc.). Can anyone help set up this script?
Thanks in advance!
Solution
According to docs, lftp
should support ftp_proxy
environment variables, eg
ftp_proxy=ftp://proxy.domain.com lftp -c "cd /upload; put file" ftp://200.200.200.200
If feasible, you can put
export ftp_proxy=ftp://proxy.domain.com
In your shell configuration file, or
set ftp:proxy=ftp://proxy.domain.com
In your ~/.lftprc.
Or, try running a command that your GUI FTP client is running, for example
upload.lftp
USER ...@...
PASS ...
PUT ...
Then run it with -s
:
lftp -s upload.lftp 200.200.200.200
Or try curl -T
( docs ) ncftpput
( docs )。
Similar to:
FTP_PROXY=ftp://proxy.domain.com curl -T uploadfile -u foo:bar ftp://200.200.200.200/myfile
May be useful.
