It means it sets up the data connection encrypted with SSL, using the "PROT P"
command.

The "wrapper" should of course act the way libcurl asks it to, since libcurl
instructs the server how to setup the data connection.

FTPS with libcurl will _always_ attempt to encrypt the data if the server
responds ok to the PROT P command.
