in reply to Net::FTP and SSL/TLS

If your goal is just to have a secure FTP connection then may I suggest taking a peek at Net::SFTP.

    Well, I'm not controlling the servers, and the servers are using SSL and TLS. Afaik Net::SFTP only does SSH, besides that it has no support for FXP (site-to-site tranfers) which is one of the reasons I'm using Net::FTP. I guess modifying Net::FTP to do TLS/SSL would be the best way, but my perl skills are not on that level I'm afraid. Anyone out there with some skills than could be interested in looking at it? bastardo.
      You might want to double check but I believe that Net::SFTP does have FXP support. The Net::SFTP::Constants module appears to import SSH2_FXP_* constants.

        Yep, Net::SFTP turned out to have FXP support, but it is still only SSH1/2, while the servers I am connecting to is Auth TLS or Auth SSL. bastardo
        Yep, looks like Net::SFTP can handle FXP transfers. It only uses SSH1/2 though, and not Auth TLS/SSL which is what i need. bastardo.
