Script for uploading from Raspberry Pi with ftp but using TLS 1.2

[Feek]

My hosting company didn't bother telling anyone but they're now insisting all ftp access is done using TLS 1.2.

My simple ftp script has stopped working.

#!/bin/sh

cd /home/upload_temp/ftp/files
sudo cp index.upload index.html
sudo chown root:root index.html
sudo chmod +x index.html

HOST='my_server_hostname'
USER='mu_username'
PASSWD='my_password'
FILE='index.html'

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
user ${USER} ${PASSWD}
cd /upload
put $FILE
quit
END_SCRIPT

exit 0

I've spent a while trying to understand what I need to do here to make it work using TLS.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks.

I think you will have to use sftp instead of ftp.

This will work. I am able to connect to the remote system from my Mac using Filezilla in sftp mode but have no idea how to do that via a script on the Pi.

Assuming it’s just one file you can replace as follows:

scp <filename> user@host:<path>/

The above command will prompt you for a password. To make the command passwordless setup a private key pair. You’ll find instructions on google on how to do that.

Thanks, it's all working now.
