Thanks for your help!

Can you explain, how I can get to this information. I use curl in my php
script and php doesn't output any notice, warning or error message.

I use
- Windows XP
- PHP Version 5.2.1
- libcurl/7.16.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8d zlib/1.2.3

It doesn't mather to me as long as the transfer is encrypted (both login
data and application data)

Using Wireshark to analyse the traffic, I've found the following:
Using ftp:// shows me a lot of packages using ftp protocol (download
successful)
Using ftps:// shows me only some tcp packages (no download)
It seems as there is no real attempt to connect to the ftp server using
ftps://.

Regards
Bene
