| The ''Transport Layer Security'' (TLS) protocol gets used to cryptographically protect a socket connection. It is the successor of the ''Secure Sockets Layer'' (SSL) protocol. TLS gets used for the FTP over TLS/SSL (FTPS) protocol.

| == Technical Specifications ==
| |
| | |
| * [http://filezilla-project.org/specs/draft_ssl_v3.txt SSLv3 draft] (obsolete)
| |
| * [http://filezilla-project.org/specs/rfc2246.txt <nowiki>RFC 2246</nowiki>] "TLS 1.0"
| |
| * [http://filezilla-project.org/specs/rfc4346.txt <nowiki>RFC 4346</nowiki>] "TLS 1.1"
| |
| | |
| === Points of interest ===
| |
| | |
| * Section 7.2.1. of RFC 2246: Closure alerts<br />
| |
| <blockquote><pre>The client and the server must share knowledge that the connection is
| |
| ending in order to avoid a truncation attack. Either party may
| |
| initiate the exchange of closing messages.
| |
| [...]
| |
| Each party is required to send a close_notify alert before closing
| |
| the write side of the connection.
| |
| </pre></blockquote>
| |
| | |
| :Lots of FTP servers did not follow the specifications and were vulnerable to truncation attacks. FileZilla will properly fail transfers on those servers.
