FTPS?

The institution I'm working for is going to FTPS in the near future so I have to find a way to support it in VFP.

I know that WinInet can do FTP but I don't see anything with the FTP APIs that supports SSL. It don't see that WinHttp supports FTP so it seems like that approach is out also.

I'm looking for something that wouldn't require a third party product like Rick Strahl's Web Connect although I didn't see anything in the product description that states it supports FTPS either.

Anybody else here had to face this yet?

Thanks for all your help,

Ralph Kolva
 
You're correct that WinInet doesn't support FTPS. Since almost all existing VFP-based products that implement FTP do so through WinInet, you're sorta stuck going to a third-party.

I did some looking around a few years ago and seem to recall the folks who publish CuteFTP have a developer API that supports it.
