FTP Limitation
#1
I am using the Clipsal/Schneider NAC platform here in Australia and have come across a problem with the FTP library.

The client I am working with requires the use of SFTP as I do not have a certificate for the NAC. 
This library as I understand is part of a later release.
The problem I face is that Clipsal has not released a firmware update for a very long time and track records for this indicate that it will not improve.
I adore this product but it is being held back substantially by this OEM arrangement.

Is there a method by which I can use the FTP library but skip the certificate error and continue the upload?
The error I'm receiving back is "550 SSL/TLS required on the control channel"

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 
I note the work around for other SFTP was to install an IPK. this is not an option on the Nac/Shac as I understand it?

Thanks in advance,
Brent

There's not much we can do because new firmware releases are Clipsal/Schneider responsibility.
Unfortunately separate package upgrade won't work because LuaSocket depends on newer OpenSSL which is used by many other packages. So it will break a lot of other system components if upgraded.

You can try replacing the FTP module with a new version via a script (run once, make sure that your device has valid gateway and DNS set):
Code:
os.execute('wget -O /usr/lib/lua/socket/ftp.lua http://dl.openrb.com/misc/ftp.lua')

Thanks for the prompt reply. I will give this method a try when i'm next on site.

Certainly understand the limitations you have with firmware rollouts.

I certainly hope this is the case. Such a great product its a shame to see such a big delay on updates.
