Securing FTPS connection
843811Feb 8 2007 — edited Mar 26 2007I have been asked to secure an existing FTP client application using FTPS, and have been searching the Web for the last 3 hours for a single example on how to do this. The application uses the Apache commons Ftp library, which does not natively support Ftps. However, it looks like what I need to do is extend the SSLSocketFactory class and pass and instance of it to the Ftp's setSocketFactory() method.
I do not know what the methodology for extending the SSL SocketFactory would be ( beyond the obvious ).
Does anyone have an example or a URL that would lead me to information that I could use to accomplish my goal ( connect to FTPS server ).
Oh, one thread mentions JSSE and SSLSocketFactory, but I did not find any tutorials for this via google.
Thank You,
John Gooch
