Re: Secure FTP using FTPAPI

I haven't fully read the specs for secure FTP. I imagine there are a few 
extra commands that are used when negotiating data channels over SSL. 
You'd have to look into these.

To actually do the SSL connections, you'd probably want to create two 
separate "communication drivers" for FTPAPI. This is how I did it with 
HTTPAPI, I wrote these "driver modules" that do the network 
communications, and I dynamically select which one I want to use based on 
the URL passed in.  It wouldn't be too hard to do the same thing for 
FTPAPI, in my opinion.

Of course, you'd have to understand the code in FTPAPI well enough to know 
what needs to be done.  Not a problem for me, of course, but it might be 
for you...
