AERIS/ICARE was migrated his good old FTP server to SFTP

For security reason, we are abandoning the FTP protocol in favor of SFTP on our distribution server. Depending of the way you are using this service, you can have to change the commands you are used to. Note that not all applications support the SFTP protocol, and some additional tools may need to be installed (sshpass, lftp)

The following table shows how it must be adapted

 ftpsftp
Interactiveftp ftp://ftp.icare.univ-lille1.frsftp sftp://sftp.icare.univ-lille.fr
Scripting#!/bin/bash
ftp -n ftp.icare.univ-lille1.fr << EOF
quote USER <user>
quote PASS <pass>
ls
quit
EOF
lftp sftp://sftp.icare.univ-lille.fr -u <user>,<pass> << EOF
ls
quit
EOF

or, alternatively

sshpass -p <pass> sftp <user>@sftp.icare.univ-lille.fr << EOF
ls
quit
EOF
wgetwget *.nc ftp://login:password@ftp.icare.univ-lille1.frwget does not support sftp
ncftpncftpget -u <user> -p <pass> ftp://ftp.icare.univ-lille1.fr/*.ncncftp does not support sftp
