Pascal (Lazarus/Delphi)

Set the FTP TLS Version and Ciphers

Demonstrates the TLS negotiation properties SslProtocol and SslAllowedCiphers, and reads back the negotiated TlsVersion and TlsCipherSuite after connecting.

Background: SslProtocol sets the allowed (or minimum) TLS version — default lets Chilkat negotiate the best available, while a value like TLS 1.2 or higher enforces a floor for policy compliance. SslAllowedCiphers narrows the offered cipher suites, which most applications should leave at the secure defaults. The read-only TlsVersion and TlsCipherSuite report what was actually agreed, useful for logging and audits.
