+ | ====== 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))) | ||
+ | ===== [[methods]] Methods of Invoking ===== | ||
+ | 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. | ||
