What is Implicit SSL?

Administrators select Implicit SSL if they require FTP clients to be “SSL enabled.” With Implicit SSL, the socket is setup immediately for secure communication and no clear text is passed between the client and server. These servers usually run on port 990. With this mode of operation, only clients that support SSL will be permitted access. Also no AUTH command is needed when using Implicit SSL, since all control and data connections are secure.
