NAME

       Net::SSLGlue::FTP - extend Net::FTP for FTPS (SSL) and IPv6

SYNOPSIS

           use Net::SSLGlue::FTP;
           # SSL right from start
           my $ftps = Net::FTP->new( $host,
               SSL => 1,
               SSL_ca_path => ...
           );

           # SSL through upgrade of plain connection
           my $ftp = Net::FTP->new( $host );
           $ftp->starttls( SSL_ca_path => ... );

           # change protection mode to unencrypted|encrypted
           $ftp->prot('C'); # clear
           $ftp->prot('P'); # protected

DESCRIPTION

       Net::SSLGlue::FTP extends Net::FTP so one can either start directly with SSL or switch later to SSL using
       starttls method (AUTH TLS command).  If IO::Socket::IP or IO::Socket::INET6 are installed it will also
       transparently use IPv6.

       By default it will take care to verify the certificate according to the rules for FTP implemented in
       IO::Socket::SSL.

METHODS

       new The method "new" of Net::FTP is now able to start directly with SSL when the argument "<SSL =" 1>> is
           given. One can give the usual "SSL_*" parameter of IO::Socket::SSL to "Net::FTP::new".

       starttls
           If the connection is not yet SSLified it will issue the "AUTH TLS" command and change the object, so
           that SSL will now be used.

       peer_certificate ...
           Once the SSL connection is established you can use this method to get information about the
           certificate. See the IO::Socket::SSL documentation.

       All of these methods can take the "SSL_*" parameter from IO::Socket::SSL to change the behavior of the
       SSL connection. The following parameters are especially useful:

       SSL_ca_path, SSL_ca_file
           Specifies the path or a file where the CAs used for checking the certificates are located. This is
           typically "etc/ssl/certs" on UNIX systems.

       SSL_verify_mode
           If set to 0, verification of the certificate will be disabled. By default it is set to 1 which means
           that the peer certificate is checked.

       SSL_verifycn_name
           Usually the name given as the hostname in the constructor is used to verify the identity of the
           certificate. If you want to check the certificate against another name you can specify it with this
           parameter.
