ftp: RFE: support for FTPS
It seems that although Gvfs accepts ftps://
URLs, it considers these to mean FTPES (FTP with explicit STARTTLS), and I cannot find any way to connect to a server which only supports implicit-TLS.
Other clients such as FileZilla tend to work like this:
-
ftp://
means plaintext (or opportunistic STARTTLS) on default port 21; -
ftps://
means implicit TLS (like HTTPS/SMTPS/IMAPS) on default port 990; -
ftpes://
means required STARTTLS (aka explicit TLS) on default port 21.
