But saying that would require that you ignore the large number of FTP
implementations that support the draft standard for FTP over SSL / TLS.
I've done so for over a year, and I haven't had to make any changes to the
implementation, because the standard hasn't changed in that time. Actually,
the changes I've had to make during that time have come from the SChannel
API changing its behaviour.

Whereas FTP uses standard ports like 21 and 20. Next?
