I believe the VDSIPP dll does offer secure FTP connections, but I don't know if it uses SSL... Rolling Eyes

Nope VDSIPP uses standard FTP protocol which is inherantly insecure as it sends user/pass as plain text.

Hi,

Sorry but there will be no future updates to VDSIPP regarding SSL.

I doubt if the Internet Suite from CR will ever support it either. SSL is very difficult. I note that Francois Piette, who developed a TCP/IP component suite for Delphi, was requesting large donations from users to fund the development of SSL versions of his components.

It might be worth taking a look at SafeTP (http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~smcpeak/SafeTP/). It appears to be a kind of proxy that turns ordinary insecure FTP clients and servers into secure ones. I've never tried it, so I have no idea how easy it is to get going, or whether it will do what you want.

don't worry PGWARE, VDSIPP is a very good work Wink

SSL is not very important because there is somes possibility to be a little more secure.

I'm programming a CLIENT/SERVER that crypt/decrypt. requests by encrypting with ip adress/time server. It's not 100% secure but sufficient for what i want to do.

Thanks for all Wink

P.S: i will look jules, thanks.
