Implicit Secure FTP SSL on Port 990

Download: Chilkat .NET Assemblies

VB.NET sample program demonstrating FTP over SSL on port 990.

    ' This example demonstrates how to do secure FTP uploads and downloads
    ' using implicit SSL on FTP port 990.  This is a less common way of doing secure FTP.
    ' If the FTP client is behind a network address translating router, such as a typical
    ' DSL/Cable router, this will not work when the transfer mode is Active, as opposed to Passive.
    ' The reason is that the router cannot translate the IP address issued in the PORT command
    ' when setting up the data channel.  To do secure FTP behind a router, use "AUTH TLS" 
    ' instead.  (refer to http://www.example-code.com/vbdotnet/ftps_auth_tls.asp )
