Question

I've seen the cellular modems support "FTP(S)" - do they really mean FTPS or SFTP (different protocols)?

We need SFTP and can't find any modems that do it.

Answer 1

Hello,

  

could you clarify whether you're referring to the router storage itself, or accessing an external USB flash drive/HDD?

If referring to the router storage, then SFTP is supported:

And it could be used to browse the external USB drive by navigating to /mnt/sda1 (if only one drive is connected).

As for the network share, we use Samba 3.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions!

I think you misunderstood the question.  Modems transmit data.  Assuming you are using TCP/IP, standard file transfer protocols include FTP (non-encrypted), FTPS (older encrypted protocol), and SFTP (new encrypted protocol utilizing SSH).

The modem data sheet says it supports FTP(S) - does that mean it supports FTP, FTPS, and SFTP?

We only need SFTP - so that is the one I am most interested in.
