Using FTPS in Windows Server 2008

Here's the way that you specify which type of FTP over SSL (FTPS) that you are using in Windows Server 2008:

  • If you enable FTPS and you assign the FTP site to the default port of 21, you are using Explicit SSL.
  • If you enable FTPS and you assign the FTP site to port 990, you are using Implicit SSL.
  • In point of fact, if you enable FTPS and you assign the FTP site to any port other than port 990, you are always using Explicit SSL.
