PROT P and STAT -la

[thop]

I've noticed that "Secure File Listing" has no effect when stat -l is enabled. Is that a bug, by design or just the way stat -l works?

STAT -la instructs the ftp server to send the file listing over the command channel. If SSL/TLS is activated then STAT -la will be encypted as well.

So stat -la is always encrypted regardless of "Secure File Listing" and "Secure File Transfer"?

correct. becuase like bigstar mentioned, it's being sent over control connection, which is always encrypted during 'SSL-FTP'

Weird.STAT -L = "Secure File Listing"?

In this case Yes, only if you're connected to the FTP Server via SSL/TLS.
