Questions about ftps server

Question

I already have code for a ftp server. I am following this code. Now my requirement is to create a ftps server. But my problem is I dont know anything about it. I googled for it. But did not find any useful help. Any suggestion or book name will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The [Wikipedia page](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol) of SFTP provides both the relevant standard drafts and [a list of server implementations](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SFTP_server_software), several of which open source, I think you have a lot of material to work on... — Matteo Italia, Nov 15 '11 at 18:06
Just checking. Are you you sure you want SFTP instead of FTPS? SFTP refers to file transfer over SSH. The underlying protocol is very different from normal FTP. FTPS refers to normal FTP, but using SSL for the data and/or control connections. — kaliatech, Nov 15 '11 at 18:12
@kaliatech Sorry you are correct. Its my mistake. I am asking about ftps. — Barun, Nov 15 '11 at 18:13
Then you have [RFC4217](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4217). — Matteo Italia, Nov 15 '11 at 18:19
Is this a C# question or a C++ question? You have both tags. — Daniel Mann, Nov 15 '11 at 19:00

The wikipedia page on FTPS is useful as an overview. I believe there are a few commercial libraries available for implementing an FTP/SSL server in C#, although I'm not familiar with them. Examples:

I don't know of any open-source alternatives. You might try looking at open-source implementations in other languages. Examples:

FileZilla Server - C++
Apache FtpServer - Java (has support for TLS/SSL)
