We switches the FTP-Server for a new one that works very well. One new thing is that FTPS session resumption is now mandetory and cannot be turned off since it is an important security feature. > > Unfortunately the version of curl on the system does not yet support it.

If not: What would be the best way to get a newer version onto the system? Enterprise Linux and other Long Time Support distributions are usually very strict on updating packages which are in scripts. CentOS-7 is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 which was released in 2014 and had its last package set updated in 2020 with the release of 7.9. All changes til its end of life in 2024 will be security fixes or other critical fixes. Normally to get a newer package like this you will want to compile the version you want in /usr/local/ or some /opt/ tree directory to a) make sure it doesn't break existing tools but b) is available for scripts. -- Stephen J Smoogen. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Flame wars in sci.astro.orion. I have seen SPAM filters overload because of Godwin's Law. All those moments will be lost in time... like posts on a BBS... time to shutdown -h now.
