Re: any projections for ftps support in Net_FTP?

I just wanted to inquire once again how close Net_FTP is to having support for ftps using streams? This will be a huge bonus for PEAR users as 1.4.0 will allow them to remotely install using ftp, and if Net_FTP supports ftps, then it will in fact be perfect. My host, for instance, only supports ftps, and not ftp protocols.

Well, it looks like the built-in FTP functions don't support ftps. And the user notes for ftp_ssl_connect say that a connection to port 21 will leave it unencrypted...which seems strange to me. Anyone tried ftp_ssl_connect() to see what it works with?

The only real answer is to use streams, as fopen(ftps://blahblah) is fully supported in PHP5 with read/write/etc. simulating put and the other standard ftp functions is very simple.

Since we currently work on a socket based backend, this would also be an alternative. I will start refactoring Net_FTP soon, to support multiple backends (native FTP, streams, sockets, CURL,...). This will obviously be Net_FTP2, since it will break BC. I guess I will start that next week.
