FTPS over SFTP

VGS allows to connect to FTPS upstream using SFTP as the connection interface. Since this is not a native protocol implementation, it has some requirements and limitations.

Upstream requirements

To establish such connections, your server must support:

• Passive connection mode

• TLS encryption

• User/Pass auth

• UTF8 encoding

• Binary transfer mode

FTP commands

For proper cross-protocol work, each of those commands must be enabled on your server:

• Get current path: PWD

• Get file stats: MLST

• Upload file: STOR

• Download file: RETR

• List directory: LIST

• Create directory: MKD

• Remove file or directory: DELE RMD

• Rename file or directory: RNFR RNTO

If the described above mapping schema doesn’t work for your case or you need a specific commands behavior, please contact our Support. VGS can provide a flexible configuration for any custom scenario.
