[Net] Howto FTP over SSL

["David Svanberg (Kentor)" <Da...@kentor.se>]

I'll have to FTP a Windows(r) server that runs SSL - that is "FTP over
SSL" or FTPS. Do not confuse with SFTP (FTP over SSH).

 

I've tried to figure out how to do this with Commons Net - but haven't
found much information. I did find a post from 2004 that mentioned the
use of SocketClient/SocketFactory type of use - but I have no clue if it
actually did work or not.

 

Is there anyone out there having advices/examples on how to get this
bird up & running?

 

Could I use JSSE from the standard J2SE SDK (1.4+) to do the socketing
stuff and use this SocketFactory class in anyway to setup the
communication?  

 

Best Regards,
