[sork] Re: Forwards and security

[Markus Boettger]

Hi,

I now try to use ftps with the ftp_ssl_connect command.
As a default, the command uses port 21; that ends up in a 
non-ssl-connection.
What server-deamon is able to listen to such a ftp-ssl-connection?
I have openssl-0.9.6g installed. ssh2 listens to port22 for sftp/scp, 
right? Any try to connect to port 22 with ftp_ssl_connect fails.
I tried wu-ftp, but there is no way to compile with ssl-support...
At least I tried stunnel, but stunnel.org tells that "ftp uses 
multilinks" and that is why ftp cannot be tunneled.

Can you help me? What server can I use?

Markus
