Command-line FTPS (not SFTP) client for Linux

Question

I need to set up a script on a Linux machine to download files from a server using FTPS, what options do I have?

Answer 1

You could use lftp it handles ftps with ease and make a "lftp-script"

lftp-script:

debug 10
open ftps://ftp.blah.org
get <yourfile>

And:

lftp -f lftp-script

Or use lftpget:

lftpget ftps://user:password@ftp.blah.org/path/to/file.iso

Answer 2

curl ftps://server.com/ or curl --ftp-ssl ftp://server.com/

Answer 3

ncftpget

ncftpput

I think it is shipped with ncftp.

EDIT: My fault, not SFTP support I think. From the NCFTP FAQ:

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.
