Of course, it's documented thing, check RFC 2228 which explains FTP Security Extensions. Also, this version is pretty good as it will encrypt data channel as well, I saw some other programs which encrypt only command channel what is not enough if you want security (ie. everyone can sniff dir listings etc.) Several clients which already support ftp over ssl are cuteftp v2.01, ws ftp pro v7.04, igloo ftp pro v2.6 and flashfxp on Windows operating systems, as well as several other clients on unix operating systems. Overall, this isn't any major thing, implementation seems to be ok although on my 5-minute test this MOVEit client didn't understand correctly timeout on remote site. However, certification handling looks ok, I got informed about not certified key and it encrypts data nicely. Best regards, Bojan Zdrnja
