This document describes a mechanism that can be used by FTP clients
and servers to implement security and authentication using the TLS
protocol defined by [RFC-2246] and the extensions to the FTP protocol
defined by [RFC-2228]. It describes the subset of the extensions
that are required and the parameters to be used; discusses some of
the policy issues that clients and servers will need to take;
considers some of the implications of those policies and discusses
some expected behaviours of implementations to allow interoperation.
This document is intended to provide TLS support for FTP in a similar
way to that provided for SMTP in [RFC-2487] and HTTP in [RFC-2817].

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-murray-auth-ftp-ssl-12.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
