FTPS settings Difference between control and control with data

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

Just a very quick question please. When doing FTPS there are two options

1) control

2) control with data

Can anyone explain what's the difference between the two?

regards

FTPS with control and data also does the encryption of your data using the algorithm that was decided between u and the FTP server.

whereas the FTPS with control doesnot provide a data level encryption..

Hi,

FTPS (FTP Using SSL/TLS) for Control Connection

The FTP control connection is protected using TLS/SSL (Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer). File transfer is unencrypted.

FTPS (FTP Using SSL/TLS) for Control and Data Connection

All communication with the FTP server is encrypted and uses TLS/SSL.
