FlashFXP Forums - View Single Post - Encrypting directory listings but allowing fxp transfers

Hello,

I would like to make sure directory listings are sent only over encrypted data channel. On the other hand, I need my server to do FXP transfers, so requiring encrypted data connection all the time doesn't work.

It has occurred to me that what I really want is to allow LIST command over protected data channel only, while allowing STOR and RETR over unprotected data channel as well. This should work, right? Or is there anything more I need to worry about?

I don't think it can be done right now, though. I can use [FTP_Pre-Command_Events] to control access to LIST command, but there is (as far as I know) no way to check whether current connection is encrypted or not.

May I ask for a new cookie, maybe? Or a flag? One which would tell the state of control connection (no auth, ssl, tls etc) and state of data connection (clear or private)?

I am new to ioFTPD, so it is quite possible that there is an easier way of doing what I want to do... Does anybody have any idea?
