4.15 FTPS doesn't work
curl supports FTPS (sometimes known as FTP-SSL) both implicit and explicit
mode.
When a URL is used that starts with FTPS://, curl assumes implicit SSL on
the control connection and will therefore immediately connect and try to
speak SSL. FTPS:// connections default to port 990.
To use explicit FTPS, you use a FTP:// URL and the --ftp-ssl option (or one
of its related flavours). This is the most common method, and the one
mandated by RFC4217. This kind of connection then of course uses the
standard FTP port 21 by default.

In the cURL project we call this module PHP/CURL to differentiate it from
curl the command line tool and libcurl the library. The PHP team however
does not refer to it like this (for unknown reasons). They call it plain
CURL (often using all caps) which causes much confusion to users which in
turn gives us a higher question load.

PHP/CURL can be used. PHP/CURL is written by Sterling Hughes.
