    UFTP offers support for Implicit SSL/TLS only. This means that UFTP expects the FTP Server to be configured in a way that not only enables SSL/TLS, but also requires that an SSL/TLS handshake be completed before a connection attempt succeeds. FTP servers with implicit SSL/TLS support enabled typically listen for connections over port 990. After the client connects and the SSL/TLS handshake completes, the entire FTP session is encrypted and secured with SSL/TLS. FTP sessions secured with SSL/TLS can be configured using the SSL_CIPHER_LIST, MIN_SSL_PROTOCOL, CERTIFICATE, PRIVATE_KEY, PRIVATE_KEY_PWD, and/or CA_CERTIFICATES options.  Refer to the documentation for each option to understand how UFTP uses SSL/TLS to secure a transfer session.
