lftp error SSL_connect: sslv3 alert unexpected message

lftp error SSL_connect: sslv3 alert unexpected message

[Rafael Enrique Martinez Delgado]

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to use lftp to connect sftp.am.gxsics.com but just
get the error SSL_connect: sslv3 alert unexpected message
when using cygwin built of lftp (which uses OpenSSL). I then found a
build that was done with GNUTLS with 4.3 version of lftp and this can
connect with no issues using the same script and so it seems to be
down to OpenSSL and the specific setup used by GXS which is kind of
old school with implicit ftps on port 6366. Below are the log and lftp
script.

I have tried it on Windows 7 32 bits as well as Windows 8 32 bits.
I ran cygcheck on windows 8 and got a blank file, but was able to run uname -a

CYGWIN_NT-6.2 RM-LAPTOP 1.7.20(0.266/5/3) 2013-06-07 11:11 i686 Cygwin

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reporting this.  Since others have also reported recent trouble
with this build of lftp, I'll see if I can build it with GnuTLS and let you
see if that fixes your problem.

Also, I'm about to release version 4.4.8 for Cygwin, which supposedly fixes
some sftp bugs.  Please try that when it comes out, and see if that fixes
your problem.

Andrew
