Still no answer on the FTP comment issue Also, SMTP SSL

Post by cvlr » Tue Jun 12, 2018 3:42 pm

This info is wrong in the help document for SMTP ssl usage. I'm assuming the setting is the same but the descriptions refer to making ftp connections.

No TLS/SSL
Default - no encryption

1
Use Implicit TLS
You wish to use implicit TLS. In implicit TLS FTP, you connect to port 990, start TLS negotiation, and the entire session is encrypted. IETF has depreciated implicit TLS FTP so this setting should only be used with FTP servers that do not yet support explicit TLS.

2
Use Require TLS
You wish your session to use explicit TLS. In explicit TLS FTP, you connect to port 21 like the unencrypted version of FTP and encryption lasts until you disconnect. No attempt is made to continue the FTP session if TLS negotiation fails.

3
Use Explicit TLS
You wish your session to use explicit TLS if the FTP server supports it.

Thanks for that and well spotted. Yes the values are the same but clearly related to SMTP server communications not FTP.
