Is the FTPClient (...) essentially like typing into a terminal:
ftp user@host ?
If it is, is there a secure ftp client that would be the same as typing in
sftp user@host
because none of the sites that I want to send files to will accept the old school ftp.
The following is an extract from the CRbasic help for the FTPClient() instruction:
If 10 is added to the option code (e.g., 10, 11), the datalogger will use TLS. The datalogger uses explicit FTPS, unless the port for the TCP port is specified as 990. When using implicit FTPS, the data port is 989.
Note that the above only supports the FTPS protocol and NOT the SFTP. The latter is an entirely different protocol that is based on the SSH service.
