Issue:

It is possible to transfer large DB extracts from the FTP server ftpeu.ifsworld.com.

It doesn't seem to be possible to connect directly from the Linux DB server through command line SFTP or SCP to get the file directly to the server.

Instead, it is possible to connect with FileZilla on Windows so the file must be first downloaded to NAS through Citrix and then SCP'd into the Linux host.

Question: 

Why is it not possible to SFTP directly from Linux hosts (sftp ftpeu.ifsworld.com or curl just hand and give timeout) or what steps can we take to make downloads directly from ftpeu.ifsworld.com in Linux command-line?

Environment: Linux hosts

Cause: N/A

Resolution: 

You can use lftp, that supports ftps required by ftpeu.ifsworld.com.

In Oracle Linux, which can be installed with root permissions with:

yum -y install lftp

Then using the following command, it is possible to access ftpeu.ifsworld.com via Linux cmd.

lftp ftps://ftpeu.ifsworld.com
