cURL is not supporting FTP
Hello,
I´m just trying to use my Kindle PW as a Pictureframe. Nearly everything is running well but I have issues sending a log file to my FTP server. It seems cURL is not supporting FTP on my Paperwhite. is there any way to update cURL. Installed version is 7.33. Cheers, Mario |

(Recent) USBNet bundles a full-featured cURL build. It's not symlinked (probably because the Kindle already ships one, I didn't even remember that ), but it's in /mnt/us/usbnet/bin (and should have HTTPS support out of the box, too).
Sidebar: I'm not a fan of FTP . You could go with SCP/SFTP, or rsync, or, hell, hide it all behind an sshfs mount . |

Hello NiLuJe,
I think this could solve the issue but I dont know how to change the symlink. I tried to do the „ln“ but it didn‘t work. Can you give me a hint? The existing curl allready installed on the kindle is placed in /usr/bin/ the one you are talking about is in the /mnt/us/usbnet/bin/ folder. „whereis curl“ always points to /usr/bin/. Cheers, Mario |

FTPS is a deprecated, barely (if even that) standardized aberration. Just don't, please. .
