The implementation of AUTH SSL/TLS in the FTP client support that comes with Kermit 95 and C-Kermit 8.0
http://www.kermit-project.org/ftpd.html supports all ciphers supported by OpenSSL; reuses the session for the data connections; and properly performs verification of server certificates unlike several other clients; and supports the use of client certificates. > > But be warned that WS FTP uses only 40 bit export ciphers, at least the > versions which i checked (V6.6 and V7.0-Tryout). Another possibility is > CuteFTP, which uses strong encryption. A possible drawback with both > clients is that it is not possible to encrypt only the control connection > (in case when you only want to protect the password with SSL). This may > have a severe impact on the transfer rate. The third Windows-Client known > to me is Igloo FTP, which allows to encrypt only the control connection, > but is restricted to weak 40 bit export ciphers too. > A further drawback of WS FTP and Cute FTP is, that they use for the data > connection a new SSL session (no resumption of the SSL session of the > control connection). This leads to an unnecessary high load on the FTP > server. Some server may therefore even disallow the use of a separate > session for the data connection. > All in all there is IMHO no Windows FTP client, which could be currently > recommended unrestricted. > (CuteFTP: www.globalscape.com, Igloo FTP: www.iglooftp.com). > Ciao, > Richard > -- > Dr. Richard W.
