FTPS anyone?

I've added (new and better) support for SSL-using FTP in curl, sometimes
called FTPS. I would like to get to know how it works in real life, so if
there's anyone out there reading this who has access to a FTPS server and some
spare minutes, please get the current CVS version (or a recent daily package)
and give it a go!

Usage:

  curl ftps://server.com/

 ... will make curl connect to a SSL-using ftp server (by using SSL already at
the initial connection). But there's also the somewhat more common usage:

  curl --ftp-ssl ftp://server.com/

 ... which makes curl connect to a FTP server as normal, then issue the magic
commands that "converts" it to a SSL-using connection.

The documents that describe how things like this should be done are not
official RFC specs yet, so there might be differences in what servers and
other clients do. I'm interested in getting to know about such deviations as
well.

Questions? Comments? Flames? Post them here!
