Hello,

I wanted to ask whether lftp supports something like "explicit" or
"implicit" types of ssl/tls connections? I cannot give too much details
since I'm completely incompetent in this matter.

All I know is that the admin differentiates between "implicit" and
"explicit" ssl/tls connections. He refers to it as "encryption on
demand". To connect to this server you also need to turn on something
like "encryption of data transfer":
"(Data connection (transfer) mode -> Private (encrypted)" -> this seems
to be a quote from some Windows ftp client. Maybe it's equivalent to
lftp's "ftp:ssl-protect-data true"?

Still you need to connect to the 990 port, but when I try to use lftp
all I get in this case is:
"Fatal error: SSL connect: unknown protocol"
after trying to `open ftps://server.name`.
My lftp was obviously compliled with ssl support.

I hope you are able to figure something out of the above.

W.
