Issue with ftp upload using explicit SSL

[spencer@3ex]

Hello,

we are very new to gsite crawler so please bear with us.

We have to use explicit SSL to upload files to our website.

when we try to upload the test file we get the following error

one with no server application running.

looking at the logs on the ftp server we find the following when we
get to the data transfer section
SSL+policy+requires+SSL+for+data+channel.


I assume gsitecrawler is logging in using ftp with explicit SSL but
then reverting to plain ftp for data transfer.

Is there anyway to ensure we continue to use ftp over explicit SSL at
all times?

For verification purposes we have used filezilla to connect to the
same site and to upload a test file this works as expected. I have
included this log ( not sure if it is of any use though )

any help you can give would be greatly appreciated

Sorry, I cannot tell, I don't use this for my server.

But does your ftp address reflect the SSL ? Are you using ftps://....
for the host address?

[spencer@3ex]

I dont think the issue is with connecting to the server using ftpes as
this works. We can see from the log that we connect correctly to the
server.

Where it goes wrong is when we try to upload the file. At this point
the log indicates

534 Policy requires SSL.
Put failed: 534 Policy requires SSL.

to me this would indicate that while the login to the server was made
using secure ftp over explicit SSL the data transfer is being
attempted just as ftp and this is the reason for the failure. To me
it would seem to be the upload program in gsitecrawler that may be the
cause of the issue.

If we use a program like filezilla we can succesfully upload a file to
this site using ftpes.

Is there any way to check if the ftp upload using gsitecrawler is
working correctly using ftpes ?

Kind regards

I cannot check because I don't have an SSL cert anywhere.

I fail to see how the upload function can change protocol - I thought that
was established at connect time. But what do I know ...
