I just uploaded a patch to add tls support to the ftp module(bug
121713). While I was searching the web for some test servers to add to
the bug I found that encrypting the ftp control connection will not work
from behind a firewall that denies outbound connections by default. I
want to add a GConf key to configure this feature, but I don't know
where it should go. I would think that it would be
/desktop/gnome/gnome-vfs/modules/ftp/use_encryption.
Having a place where modules can add keys seems like a good idea because
the nntp module also needs some GConf keys and other modules probably
will in the future.
Also should this key default to on or off? I would guess that any sites
that have strict firewalls will have admins that could set the key to
default to off. On the other hand I am not sure that ftp-tls servers
are common enough yet that the admin will think about changing it.
