Re: [ANN] This Week in LiveCode 259

Jacque, if you use ftps:// and enable use_ssl then the mode is 'FTP over SSL implicit'. If your FTP Server does not support this mode, then you get an error. So it seems your server does only support FTPS explicit and not implicit FTPS implicit is not very common. Most shared hosts support

I suppose everything networking uses sockets, but these are protocols with standardized ways of establishing the connection and securing it. I was thinking of a custom client server file transfer method, but whether or not it could work for Jacque, I don’t know. Bob S On Mar 24, 2021, at
