: I'm curious as to what standards are being followed for these modes?
: RFC2228 seems to be only a framework.
Kerberos 4 and Kerberos 5 (GSSAPI) are defined in RFC 2228.
SSL/TLS are defined in an Internet-Draft
SRP is defined in the SRP distribution.

All of the telnetd distributions we mention also contain Ftpd distributions
with the equivalent set of security mechanisms. There are also various
patches available for wu-ftpd and pro-ftpd. Several Windows FTPDs are
now advertising (or promising) support for various security methods.
