Emili.Sanroma> Is it possible to connect to a FTP server using a
Emili.Sanroma> ftps://server.ftp.org URL for netscape or explorer?
Emili.Sanroma> It will be a good chance to connect to our file server
Emili.Sanroma> (ftps:[EMAIL PROTECTED])
As far as I know, there's no "ftps:" protocol designator. In any
case, using SSL in that manner has proved to be an unnessecary overuse
of port numbers, and not really adequate for all the possible uses.
Instead, protocols like HTTP, SMTP and FTP are getting added commands
or options to switch to SSL during a session.
I don't currently recall the drafts and RFC's describing this, but I'm
sure that you can find them all in the Security Area of IETF
(http://www.ietf.org).
