FTP uploading without external programs

I'm attempting to push output to a cloud server via FTP using the Download tool.  I'm hitting the same shortcoming many users hit with this tool.  It can't seem to handle encryption and errors out on a denied login…

The connection is basic ftp on port 21 and should have TLS/SSL encryption.  I'm able to connect in other FTP clients, so I know my address is good.

 

The typical response is to suggest an external program like WinSCP but I plan on uploading this workflow to the App Server. It won't be able to call external programs.

 

Does anyone have a solution?

I don't believe that the download tool will natively support this. You may need to choose either an R/Python coding version (which will require making sure you have the same setup cross environment client/server) or a WincSCP/Putty solution which will require an external program. Sorry.

I'm not overly familiar with server workflows, is it possible to use R, Python, or an external program?

if your server admin sets them up and you know the location of them on your server - sure.

That's encouraging, at least.  I'll tackle the guy and see what is available.  Thanks very much for your time.
