I have configured proftpd server on AIX5.3 with mod-ssl/tls which supports FTPS client connections. I tested it with FileZilla from windows desktop and works fine when I connect using TLS/SSL.

Now I am looking for FTPS client which will run on AIX 5.3. I tried to compile one of the open source softwares lftp and failed to do so. There is Kermit but that also does not work with SSL/TLS. Has anyone setup ftps client on aix 5.3 and if yes, can you please provide some details. It will be great help. Thanks in advance.

Are you referring to sftp (secure FTP)? If so, it's built in to the SSH package...

I understand sftp is built in. This is FTPS (normal ftp using ssl/tls). Not same as sftp or scp.

Waynek,
Thanks. The curl gets compiled well on AIX using --with-openssl option and file transfer also works with -k option as I dont want any certificates on client side.
Initially i was little worried as there are few clients available but none of them compiles successfully on AIX.

curl is also available on the AIX toolbox CD or from the toolbox website:

Did you or anyone find a version of cURL compiled for version 5.3 of AIX? I need sftp.

They're on the IBM site listed in the post above yours, you need to go to the cryptographic content section (link is on the right side of that page).
