TLS and TCL

[Figga]

Hi , nice forum by the way i have found some usefull information from here that has helped alot in my learning of tcl and eggdrops..
i recently started a script that logs into ftp sites to check for certain files in this case `*-missing` files...

Basically it took a list from a file delimited by full Colons ":" and split the list into IP:PORT:USER:PASS:DIRECTORY ....

This all worked fine with normal ftp's untill i tried to do it with SSL enabled FTPD's , i have googled and yahoo'd all sorts of questions in a quest for ideas on how to wrap the ftp_lib in tls / ssl but cannot find a way to do it and i dont know where to start wrapping the ftp:: connection into TLS , i have installed TLS 1.5 on the eggdrop / box and it works succesfully in a tclsh environment (i input "package require tls" and it returns "1.5") so i know its working ....

has anyone else ever tried to wrap FTP libs in SSL/TLS using eggdrop or is it something that annot be done ?

All help wil be greatly appreciated as its beginning to become rather annoying !!

Thanks in advance

you can't do that, at least not with ftp package that is provided by TclLib

the thing is that - as far as I can see from its manpage - the ftp package provides no way of specifying that its (control or data) connection has to be piped through [::tls::socket] - as opposed to http package, which does that:

Code: Select all

package require http
package require tls

::http::register https 443 ::tls::socket

set token [::http::geturl https://my.secure.site/]

I will struggle on to try and find a solution might look at lftp to do it or something else that has native SSL FTP with it
