this is expected behaviour; fsockopen("tls://") opens the socket with TLS turned on.
By default, TLS-enabled ftp servers start "in the clear" - with crypto turned off.

If you want to use TLS over ftp, consider using fopen("ftps://") instead (which will attempt TLS negotiation according to the relevant rfcs), or if that is not sufficient, try using the curl functions.

TLS becomes more a standard instead of FTP.

I cant recognize the reason why fsockopen() doesnt handle tls/ssl similare to fopen().

Why not starting (like fopen() it does) in clear mode, then switch to tls/ssl if this all is FLASE return fail ?

Atm i have to run a TLSwrapper in background to connect FTP+TLS cause fsock yes but ssl...

The use of Curl or fopen instead ? Sounds a bit crazy for me tho :)

A Create a socket function should handle all streams.

Im looking forward to fsockopen supports ftp+tls :)

Just info when using fopen();

it retruns

Warning: fopen(ftps://...@ip:port) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: Operation not permitted in .....

Please add rfc2228 handle to fsockopen(); 

:-)

fsockopen is intended to open *only* a raw socket and not implement some protocol level stuff -> that is what the URL wrappers are for in fopen().
Please try one of the alternative methods for working with secure ftp.
If you find a problem with those, then open a new bug report.

Hi Wez,

i know this prolly no faq here but im sticky since days on it and i didnt get help anywhere yet, so excuse my last question in this thread please.

example:

<?PHP

$sock = fsockopen($server, $port, $errno, $errstr, timeout);
fgets($sock....);
if TLS then {
    frwite (ftp, "AUTH", "TLS"))

    //to use php_stream_api or streams and options
    //and swtich into ssl mode ? like php.ftp it does ?
    
    // ctx = SSL_CTX_new(SSLv23_client_method()); ?????
    
    //or a simple stream wrapper from php

    frwite(ftp, "PBSZ")
    .
    ...and so on.....
}
?>


a simple "yes" or "no" from your side would be enough, so
ill try to figure it out by myself.

Maybe theres something easie php-trick i dont know,
to solve this problem.

Also theres no help available on the web to it.

Im sorry to waste your time in here , but its realy importand to realize it in php.
