Description

Actually Mule can't make FTPs, but we worked on this and finally made it !
If you're interesting in it, upgrade commons-net to 2.0 for having the FTPSClient (for now in Mule it's 1.4.1).
Then in org.mule.transport.ftp.FtpConnectionFactory put in comment client.setReaderThread() in activateObject() and passivateObject().
After that we need new parameters, like "ftps" (true or false), "proctol" (SSL or TLS), and "implicit" (true or false). Those parameters should be added to the ftp xsd. After that, in FtpConnectionFactory.makeObject(), just add something like this to create the client :

FTPClient client;

if(isFtps()) { client = new FTPSClient(ftpsProtocol, ftpsImplicit); } else { client = new FTPClient(); }

Everything works fine for us, so if you have any questions just ask

I found a server where I got the reply "550 PROT P required" during the FTPSClient.listFiles() command.
I seek and finnaly found that we need to call FTPSClient.execPROT("P") after the connection.
In the javadoc of commons-net there is :
execPROT :
Data Channel Protection Level :
C - Clear
S - Safe(SSL protocol only)
E - Confidential(SSL protocol only)
P - Private
So I add a parameter prot to my connector and check if the value is correct before calling the method.

The parameter "prot" should be added too in the ftp xsd, and the execPROT() called after the connection sucessed if "prot" is not null.

We need support for FTPS where the customer is currently running on a Windows machine. Since .NET does not really have an SSH dll, FTPS is their only real option. We need support for TLS/SSL over FTP. I would envision a simple FTP transport extension that supports an SSL cert and you can expand the transport to include the key-location and if the key does not exist, it will default to TLS.

Hi Lee,

Any updates with the FTPS support? I am using Mule EE 3.1.3, still unable to get FTPS to work. I've tried using my own FTPConnectionFactory derived from org.mule.transport.ftp.FtpConnectionFactory, but still having problems getting FTPSClient to work.

If you guys have already implemented that would be great.

Regards,
Mohamed
