FTP over HTTPS

[marcusnl]

Is FTP over HTTPS possible with Filezila?
I want to access my home FTP server from work where the FTP ports are closed.

FTP and HTTPS are protocols
21 and 443 are ports

by default FTP uses port 21 and HTTPS uses port 443

with that said any port can be used for any protocol

So you just have to set your Filezilla server to list to port 443 and point your client at your workstation to connect to port 443

If your company blocks common FTP ports you can use a proxy.

Is there any way I can connect tot the ftp server via a web browser without having to install additional add-ons or a client?
Basically I want to go to IE on any workstation anywhere, browse to https://myftp.mydomain.any, log on and up- or download files via the webbrowser, over the https protocol.

[boco]

HTTP(S) and FTP are different protocols. IE 'directory view' is using FTP, not HTTP.

Take a look at HFS. It does nearly the same as Filezilla Server, but with HTTP.

Looks cool, too bad it doesn't support https.

[boco]

Yeah it currently supports HTTPS only through STunnel. But the developer works on it.

You might want to be mindful that there may be reasons that the corporate IT team blocked such a configuration in the first place. The correct approach is to make a request through the IT team if this is for a legitimate configuration and use. Encrypting the traffic as you circumvent a "control" just makes you look "guilter" if you are violating corporate policies.

I can't connect HTTPS server using FileZilla. I used diff port, but couldn't make it in time.

Pls help me.

[boco]

You cannot connect to a HTTPS server with Filezilla. FTP and HTTP(S) are different, incompatible protocols.

Thanks boco for ur reply. So whats the solution to connect the http://www.asiarooms.com/ 's HTTPS server with FileZilla?

the http server program points to a directory on the server figure it out..
make a user on filezilla that has that as their directory.

So..
If the directory that the http server gets its files from was:
E:\public_html

Go to filezilla server and setup a user with the shared folder:
E:\public_html
