FTP with TLS/SSL Cannot get it to work

Hi,

Trying to get files downloaded from a suppliers FTP Server.
They offer FTP with TLS/SSL (Passive Mode)

Well Tried many combos in Rclone but cannot get it to work.

Error:

2024/06/03 21:34:51 ERROR : ftp://FTP.SERVER.COM:21/backups: Error while Logging in into FTP.SERVER.COM:21: Sorry, cleartext sessions and weak ciphers are not accepted on this server.
Please reconnect using TLS security mechanisms.
2024/06/03 21:34:51 Failed to create file system for "REMOTE:": NewFs: ftpConnection Login: Sorry, cleartext sessions and weak ciphers are not accepted on this server.
Please reconnect using TLS security mechanisms.

Command with Verbose Output:

root@ubuntu:~/.config/rclone# rclone lsd REMOTE:backups -vvv
2024/06/03 21:38:34 DEBUG : rclone: Version "v1.45" starting with parameters ["rclone" "lsd" "REMOTE:backups" "-vvv"]

Config:

type = ftp
host = FTP.SERVER.COM
user = USERNAME
port = 21
pass = SUPERSECUREPASSWORD
#explicit_tls = false
tls = true
no_check_certificate = true
disable_mlsd = true

Screenshot from Supplier - Connecting with Transmit (macOS) is working;

Does anyone know the option in the config / command i'm missing here?

welcome to the forum,

that is many, many years old.

  1. uninstall the old version
  2. install the lastest version
  3. test again

Damn it! Its been a long day! I've should have checked this. Its working now!
Installed fast via apt should have installed via docs.

no worries, tomorrow is rclone day ;wink
