Like HTTP over SSL - HTTPS protocol, FTP has designed to support SSL in FTP7 - FTPS protocol. Also Secure child element is included to enhance security configuration in FTP7.

Cute FTP is a FTP client (used to connect to a server). FTP is a point-to-point protocol used for file transfert (FTP meaning File Transfert Protocol).
FTPS is a protocol for transferring files over a secure connection. It uses the old FTP technology and adds SSL (the same thing used for https secure web pages) for security. You can read more about how it works and how to set it up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTPS
vsftpd is an FTP server for unix-like systems that is specially built to be efficient and very secure (very secure FTP daemon).
Secure Shell Protocol
Https is a more secure. Http is not necessarily secure at all. FTP is used to connect to a file server while HTTP connects to a web server.

Safelayer Secure Communications was created in 1999.
A Secure FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is useful for transferring files from one location to another. i.e. from one server to another. Transferring is secure because the file is encrypted.
Ftp is NOT a secure protocol. All usernames and passwords exchanged in setting up an FTP connection are sent in cleartext, data exchanged over and FTP connection is not encryption and the connection is subject to hijacking. A SFTP protocol however, is secure, thus your information is far safer.
Secure file transfering through the Internet.

Yes
It depends on what SSL is being used for (HTTP, as in secure web pages; FTP; Telnet; etc.). Below is a non-exhaustive list of various port numbers used for protocols with SSL implemented: * HTTP: Port 443 * FTP (Data): Port 989 * FTP (Control): Port 990 * Telnet: Port 992 * IRC: Port 994 * pop3: Port 995 I hope this was the information you were looking for.
