Well... I was trying to get to the "request a new feature or language change" but I believe that just links to this bugs page anyways, so sorry if this is being directed to the wrong person.

Anyway, Im trying to implement Secure FTP through PHP with OpenSSL without much luck. It would be cool if this was added to the "ftp_connect" function call as an argument (0 for regular ftp, 1 for SSL). That would make it really easy.

Just a suggestion though, for all I know it might already be as easy as that and Im just too dense to figure it out.
