Re: the most secure ftp server today?

Port 990 is typically used for implicit SSL for the FTP protocol. This
is different than explicit SSL which is typically run on the same port
as standard FTP (port 21) and allows you to switch from an unencrypted
session using the AUTH TLS or AUTH SSL commands.

If you need security, forget FTP, use scp (part of SSH) instead.

what about ftps:// using the browser..

Like https:// . Isnt there a protocol called ftps://. From what I
remember, it uses the port 990 and 995 I guess. I was wondering if I
could set up a ftp server where in I can connect by giving the url
ftps://x.x.x.x:990..and once the ftp server is contacted, a certificate
is thrown, from a CA, showing that data communication is encrytped..
