130634 - No support for SSL FTP (ftps://)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 85464

(Core Graveyard :: Networking: FTP, defect)

Description

[Ken Johanson]

No support for SSL FTP (ftps://).

This may seem trivial (at least until/if ftp uploads are supported?), but
extending the internal ssl libraries to also support ftps:// would be extremely
cool and pair well with sites that offer it. (sites I run offer ftps:// -and use
the same username-password for both https and ftp (self-defeating). It would be
elegant stop running my tcp/21 service alltogether and instead require my users
to connect via tcp/990)

I realize there a few other variations on FTP encryption, but from what I can
tell tcp/990 seems to be pretty well accepted. I promise to worship anyone who
implements this!! :)

Hmmmm. Seems that this type of functionality isnt endorsed by IANA... Enless it
should instead be implemented in DAV (which they do endorse). --I could live
with that... the server I use (sambar.com) supports some DAV protocols in
addition FTPS.

I'm gonna repost this as a request to implement DAV, because secure read-write
can only be a benifit, and some other browsers support DAV (IE).
