A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : Secure FTP over SSL
Author(s) : P. Ford-Hutchinson, T. Hudson, E. Murray
Filename : draft-murray-auth-ftp-ssl-00.txt
Pages : 7
Date : 11/27/1996
This document describes an extension to the FTP protocol [RFC-959] that
allows secured, authenticated communications to take place on the control
and data channels using the SSL protocol. This enables secure,
authenticated file transfer across the Internet. The document describes a
specific mechanism for negotiating SSL session protection in a manner that
allows other encryption/authentication techniques to be proposed in a
complemetary manner.
The new command 'AUTH' is proposed and requests that the FTP server
will accept an SSL negotation and continue the rest of the FTP
conversation (on both control and data connections) in a secure manner.
The following new commands are introduced in this specification:
AUTH (Authentication/Security Mechanism),
The following new replies are introduced in this specification:
232, 234, 334, 431, 534, 535, 536
Note that this specification is compatible with the ftp RFC [RFC-959].

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-murray-auth-ftp-ssl-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
