-	((&wikipedia_ref(FTPS\|FTPS)))	+	FTPS (also known as FTP Secure and %%FTP%%-%%SSL%%) is an extension to the commonly used File Transfer Protocol (%%FTP%%) that adds support for the [[tls\|Transport Layer Security]] (TLS) cryptographic protocol (previously known as the Secure Sockets Layer – SSL).((&wikipedia_ref(FTPS\|FTPS)))

-	To separate methods were developed to invoke lient 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.	+	Two separate methods were developed to invoke client security for use with %%FTP%% clients: //Explicit// or //Implicit//.

The latter method is an incompatible method that requires clients to be %%FTPS%% aware. WinSCP supports both methods.

-	In exlicit 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.	+	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.

	In Explicit Mode, the client has full control over what areas of the connection are to be encrypted. Enabling and disabling of encryption for the %%FTPS%% control channel and %%FTPS%% data channel can occur at any time. WinSCP though requests encryption for both control and data channel unconditionally during whole session.
