FTPS / Implicit SSL

Demonstrates how to connect using implicit SSL on port 990. The FTP component connects using SSL on port 990, which is the de-facto standard FTP SSL port. Not all FTP servers support implicit SSL. An alternative is to use AUTH SSL (also called AUTH TLS).

#  This account allows for directory listings and files

#  We don't want AUTH SSL:
ftp.put_AuthTls(false)

#  We want Implicit SSL:
ftp.put_Ssl(true)

#  Connect and login to the FTP server.

    #  successful. This allows you to visually verify
    #  that the secure connection actually occurred.

#  Do whatever you're doing to do ...
