FTP is a great protocol for open-ended traversal of remote file repositories.

For just transferring a file, scp or rsync with shared keys is a one-liner via shell(), and will be faster in addition to being simpler to code.

what i forgot

my previous overview
Server scheme         use ssl            is protocol
ftp://                           false                  ftp
ftp://.                          true                  ftp over SSL explicit
ftps://                          true                    ftp over SSL implicit

is how tsNet needs the server url

I've just had a quick look at the documentation of Fetch. It seems Fetch uses ftps:// for both FTPeS (FTP over SSL explicit) and FTPS (FTP over SSL implicit). But it depends on the port number you have entered. If you keep port 21 then FTPS (FTP over SSL implicit) is used. If you set the port to 990 then Fetch uses FTPS (FTP over SSL implicit).

Btw. it is not granted that an FTP server supports all modes.

Regards,
Matthias

Thanks. Fetch documentation says that FTP with TLS/SSL URLs should start with 
"ftps" so now I'm not sure what it's doing.
