Main article: Transport Layer Security General support įTPS includes full support for the TLS and SSL cryptographic protocols, including the use of server-side public key authentication certificates and client-side authorization certificates. Transport Layer Security (TLS)/Secure Socket Layer (SSL) In the later versions of the document, FTPS compliance required that clients always negotiate using the AUTH TLS method. The explicit method is defined in RFC 4217. Common methods of invoking FTPS security included AUTH TLS and AUTH SSL. Clients may determine which mechanisms are supported by querying the FTPS server with the FEAT command, although servers are not necessarily required to be honest in disclosing what levels of security they support.

If the FTPS client challenges the FTPS server with an unknown security mechanism, the FTPS server will respond to the AUTH command with error code 504 (not supported). SSL or TLS, it does require the FTPS client to challenge the FTPS server with a mutually known mechanism. While this RFC does not explicitly define any required security mechanisms, e.g. The mechanism for negotiating authentication and security with FTP was added under RFC 2228, which included the new FTP command AUTH. If a client does not request security, the FTPS server can either allow the client to continue in insecure mode or refuse the connection. In explicit mode (also known as FTPES), an FTPS client must 'explicitly request' security from an FTPS server and then step up to a mutually agreed encryption method. As such, it is considered an earlier, deprecated method of negotiating TLS/SSL for FTP. Note that implicit negotiation was not defined in RFC 4217. This allowed administrators to retain legacy-compatible services on the original 21/TCP FTP control channel. In order to maintain compatibility with existing non-FTPS-aware clients, implicit FTPS was expected to listen on the IANA well known port 990/TCP for the FTPS control channel, and port 989/TCP for the FTPS data channel. If such a message is not received by the FTPS server, the server should drop the connection. A client is immediately expected to challenge the FTPS server with a TLS ClientHello message. Negotiation is not supported with implicit FTPS configurations.

While the implicit method requires that a Transport Layer Security is established from the beginning of the connection, which in turn breaks the compatibility with non-FTPS-aware clients and servers, the explicit method uses standard FTP protocol commands and replies in order to upgrade a plain text connection to an encrypted one, allowing a single control port to be used for serving both FTPS-aware and non-FTPS-aware clients. Two separate methods were developed to invoke client security for use with FTP clients: Implicit and Explicit. However, the RFC was not finalized until 2005. An official IANA port was registered shortly thereafter. The SSL protocol was eventually applied to FTP, with a draft Request for Comments (RFC) published in late 1996.

While it could add security to any protocol that uses reliable connections, such as TCP, it was most commonly used by Netscape with HTTP to form HTTPS. This protocol enabled applications to communicate across a network in a private and secure fashion, discouraging eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery. In 1994, the Internet browser company Netscape developed and released the application layer wrapper, Secure Sockets Layer. The opportunity for unauthorized third parties to eavesdrop on data transmissions increased proportionally. Access to the ARPANET during this time was limited to a small number of military sites and universities and a narrow community of users who could operate without data security and privacy requirements within the protocol.Īs the ARPANET gave way to the NSFNET and then the Internet, a broader population potentially had access to the data as it traversed increasingly longer paths from client to server. The File Transfer Protocol was drafted in 1971 for use with the scientific and research network, ARPANET. 3 Transport Layer Security (TLS)/Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
