I'm trying to set up a relatively simple script for pulling data from an ftps server, but I'm not able to get past square one with sysaxftp scripting.

I have verified connectivity, username and password from SmartFTP, also from a linux box with lftp command-line.

If I run sysaxftp from the command line, and enter the ftpconnectssl command there, I get
"ftpconnectssl is an invalid command"

If I try the following basic script:

ftpconnectsslc "ftp.myhostname.com", 990, "username", "password";
if ftpresult eq success begin
    print "Connected to ftps server!";
end else begin
    print "Failed to connect to ftps server!";
end
ftpdisconnect;
endscript;

I've put example values in for hostname, username and password -- the script does indeed have the real values. 

If I run this with sysaxftp -script scriptname.txt then I get


FREE personal edition (non-commercial license) Personal edition license, sales@s
ysax.com. 1 user license
Script Engine: Line 1: Executing ftpconnectssl. Parameter(s):  "ftp.myhostname.com"
990  "my_username"  (not displayed)


And it never comes back -- never prints the success or error output, and doesn't exit.


I have tried putting enablepasv; in before the ftpconnectssl, and I've tried using ftpconnectsslc, and each time it behaves the same way.

Is there a way to enable more detailed debug output to help me troubleshoot this?

It looks like you are connecting to an FTPS site that is using implicit SSL. You need to use the ftpconnectssli command for connecting to this site.
