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. --
