	Two separate methods were developed to invoke client security for use with %%FTP%% clients: //Explicit// or //Implicit//. The former method is a legacy compatible implementation where %%FTPS%% aware clients can invoke security with an FTPS aware server without breaking overall %%FTP%% functionality with non-%%FTPS%% aware clients. The latter method is an incompatible method that requires clients to be %%FTPS%% aware. WinSCP supports both methods.

	In explicit mode, a %%FTPS%% client must "explicitly request" security from a %%FTPS%% server and then step-up to a mutually agreed encryption method. If a client does not request security, the %%FTPS%% server can either allow the client to continue insecure or refuse/limit the connection.
