FTPS Connection script
I have a requirement for which I had to connect to a server using FTPS. I have been provided with these,

connection method: FTPS
Server Name
Port for explicit and implicit
Login user

I would like to know the FTPS command/script in order to connect to there server and get a file.

Appreciate your help.

I would suggest that you look at the man page on your server for the FTPS command. None of the servers I use have an ftps command; although most of the servers I use have an sftp command.

ftps does exist, though is rare -- pretty much pure FTP in an SSL tunnel. Occasionally used in some IBM or mainframe things. I agree sftp seems more likely.

Does FTPS has its own command or can we use SFTP instead.
I looked it in the man page but didn't find anything (not found or installed).

If you don't have it installed, you're going to have an awful hard time using it.

If you don't understand the difference, you probably meant sftp.

Do you have the lftp command available on your OS.

This is the Sophisticated file transfer program and supports FTPS.

Code:
$ lftp -e "get /path/to/your/file" -p portnum -u user,pass ftps://ftp.site.com
