Connect to a FTPS server with mismatched server certificate using Net::FTPTLS - ruby

Question

I am trying to connect via Net::FTPTLS to a Microsoft-based file server (IIS) which is configured to use FTP on port 22 and requires SSL.
I connect via:
require 'net/ftptls'
ftp = Net::FTPTLS.new()
ftp.connect('host.com', port_number)
ftp.login('Username', 'Password')
ftp.puttextfile('somefile.txt', 'where/to/save/somefile.txt')
ftp.close
Problem is, I get the following error:
hostname does not match the server certificate
It seems that I have to disable the openssl peer verification: OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER should become OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE.
Any ideas on how to monkey-patch the Net::FTPTLS class? Has anyone done this successfully?

Answer 1

Instead using Net::FTPTLS, use Ruby 2.4+ with the following code:
require 'net/ftp'
ftp = Net::FTP.new(nil, ssl: {:verify_mode => OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE})
ftp.connect('host.com', port_number)
ftp.login('Username', 'Password')
ftp.puttextfile('somefile.txt', 'where/to/save/somefile.txt')
ftp.close

What I did, rather than monkeypatching ruby itself, was bring a copy of this into /lib of my project.
module Net
class FTPTLS < FTP
def connect(host, port=FTP_PORT)
#hostname = host
super
end
def login(user = "anonymous", params = {:password => nil, :acct => nil, :ignore_cert => false})
store = OpenSSL::X509::Store.new
store.set_default_paths
ctx = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext.new('SSLv23')
ctx.cert_store = store
ctx.verify_mode = params[:ignore_cert] ? OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE : OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER
ctx.key = nil
ctx.cert = nil
voidcmd("AUTH TLS")
#sock = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.new(#sock, ctx)
#sock.connect
#sock.post_connection_check(#hostname) unless params[:ignore_cert]
super(user, params[:password], params[:acct])
voidcmd("PBSZ 0")
end
end
end
I also cleaned up the param passing a bit. You would use this like so:
require 'ftptls' # Use my local version, not net/ftptls
#ftp_connection = Net::FTPTLS.new()
#ftp_connection.passive = true
#ftp_connection.connect(host, 21)
#ftp_connection.login('user', :password => 'pass', :ignore_cert => true)

This works fine for me. #ROR
ftp = Net::FTP.new("ftps.host.com", ftp_options)
open("where/is/your/file/somefile.txt") do |file_data|
ftp.putbinaryfile(file_data, 'where/to/save/somefile.txt')
end
ftp.puttextfile('somefile.txt', 'where/to/save/somefile.txt')
def ftp_options
{
port: FTP_PORT,
username: 'ftp_user',
password: 'password',
passive: true,
ssl: { verify_mode: 0 }
}
end
Remember that you have to provide ftps.hostname.com.
