Cloud Sync: FTPS (FTP over TLS) not supported?

TrueNAS General
1

Hi all,

I’m in the process of creating a backup strategy and I would like to keep an off-site copy of the data by using an ftp server located at my parents’ place.

That server enforces secure (TLS) connections and I realised there is no TLS option when configuring an FTP cloud sync connection in TrueNAS (I get this error: Must use AUTH TLS).

Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Hi, not yet… still waiting for some help.

Hey, did you find out how to do it? I’m running a Cloud Synct Task to a Hetzner Storage Box and while the data is crypted at the origin, I would still like to run it over a TLS connection… I could use SFTP but in my experience it is much slower.

for anyone passing by: create your credentials as FTP, then set the sync as FTPES or FTPS as follows

FTPES: midclt call cloudsync.update 2 ‘{“args”: “–ftp-explicit-tls”}’

FTPS: midclt call cloudsync.update 2 ‘{“args”: “–ftp-tls”}’

“2” is the number of the cloud sync entry. you can add –ftp-no-check-certificate if the TLS certificate doesn’t pass the verification.

this should really be a checkbox in the guy, but at least I found a way
