Can anyone suggest a command line ftps product?
gftp and filezilla both seem to be graphical only
sftp does ftp via ssh so it is not compatible (ftps is ssl/tls)

Are you asking for a client or server?

For command line, I've always used ncftp. It comes installed by default
on a fair number of distros.

FTPS Client - command line. It does not appear that ncftp implements
the ftps protocol

FAQ #3
Q. Does NcFTP support any secure FTP modes a la SFTP/SSL/SSH Tunnels?

A. NcFTP does not have any built-in support for encryption or secure
FTP of any type. We do not support any type of interaction with hacks
such as FTP over SSH tunnels. We may implement a secure FTP mode at a
future date, but please do not ask for an ETA.

lftp looks promising, I just need to get open-ssl and a few other
packages installed and then compile it. Unfortunately it does not
appear that the binary is built with SSL support. Thanks Cory W.
