Thanks for the reply.I know about the limitations of gftp. I was looking for a wrapping utility or even something ftp-ssl. I had another reply which directed me to tlswrap. The problem is that there seems to be a communication error.
[~]$ ftp 127.0.0.1 7000 Connected to 127.0.0.1. 220 TLSWRAP FTP Proxy Server (Version 0.7) ready. Name (127.0.0.1:jmak): jmak@146.232.189.12:33 502 RFC 2228 authentication not implemented. SSL not available 331 Password required for jmak. Password: 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection Login failed. No control connection for command: No such file or directory ftp>I don't really have an option. Some of the people are running Serv-u 4 which only supports SSL/TLS encryption and the windows applications like CuteFTP Pro 1/2/3 does support it. So it is the linux community that pulls on the shortend. I am trying to find a way to link the networks. The only we I see that linux can move forward if it offers that which Windoz offers. If it doesn't, people will keep to that which does, even thow they know there is better things out there.

Is it possible to access the ssl ftp servers from debian with a GUI like gFTP?That of course depends on the program. Try and see! That said, a quick look at gftp-{text,gtk}'s dependencies with apt-cache show do not show a dependency on either OpenSSL or GNUTLS, so I'd say no. wget (or wget-ssl in <sarge) does though. If you're worried about security though, why not use ssh or scp or sftp?I am not currently subscribed so I would appreciate it if you could send me the mail to my adress, and not just to the user group. I am running Debian Unstable.I have, but to try subscribe in future, you're more likely to get help, and you'll be able to help others, too.
