| Try to use SSL/TLS for the connection. Reverts to a non-secure connection if |
| the server does not support SSL/TLS. See also --ftp-ssl-control and --ssl-reqd |
| for different levels of encryption required. |
| |
| This option is handled in LDAP since version 7.81.0. It is fully supported |
| by the openldap backend and ignored by the generic ldap backend. |
| |
| Please note that a server may close the connection if the negotiation does |
| not succeed. |
| |
| This option was formerly known as --ftp-ssl (Added in 7.11.0). That option |
| name can still be used but will be removed in a future version. |
