Hello,

First of all, thank you very much for lftp, which is a great tool that
is both fast, efficient, and surprisingly intuitive (the mirror
function works miracles to transfer whatever I want from one place to
another!!!).

I've been using graphical clients for ages (including gftp, my last
client before I started using lftp, and one of the worst clients
ever), and I've never looked back when I switched to lftp.

However, the way you implement explicit TLS/SSL is somewhat baffling
and at times unpractical. I have a site that is very stupid, because,
it is a hub for several sites (available as virtual directories). I
can connect to the hub with or without TLS/SSL, but when I try to list
the contents of one of the virtual directories, I cannot unless I'm
securely connected.

It seems lftp does not do the AUTH TLS for some reason---why? And how
can I force it to always use AUTH TLS when available? Is it possible
to explicitly request it (as a command switch or something)?
