− | + | Very strange for Google who does a deecnt job in my opinion of offering (or even enforcing)(as it must be) TLS everywhere else, except for here. Does not make any sense. Worse, they do not seem to share the reason why. (I'm sure there must be one, but they won't share it, or so it seems based on searching the interwebs on this). It is time they add this. Come on!, google.Thanks all! Cheers.Jason | |

− | + | FTPS (SSL/TLS) is served up in two incompatible modes. If using explicit FTPS, the client connects to the normal FTP port and explicitly switches into secure (SSL/TLS) mode with "AUTH TLS", whereas implicit FTPS is an older style service that assumes SSL/TLS mode right from the start of the connection (and normally listens on TCP port 990, rather than 21). In a FileZilla client this means prefixing the host with "FTPES://" to connect an "explicit" FTPS server, or "FTPS://" for the legacy "implicit" server (for which you will likely also need to set the port to 990). | |
