FEATURE REQUEST - serv-u redirect http to https (only http, not ftp)

I know this is not new (most voted FEATURE REQUEST to Serv-U) . But because there was no solution till now, I want to ask, if it could be possible to redirect http to https and allow unsecure ftp.

Imho more and more browsers will support only https in future, but ftp without secure connection is wide spread till now.

Thanks,

Uwe

You can achieve this by enforcing encrypted connections before login:

Domain > Limits & Settings > Limits > Connection > Require secure connection before login > Yes
Enabling this will cause connections to a regular HTTP listener to be redirected to a corresponding HTTPS listener.

This is more of a side-effect, the real purpose for this is to disable plain, unencrypted FTP sessions. Keep that in mind.
With this limit in place, Serv-U will reject the "USER" FTP command with a (configurable) error message if "AUTH TLS" has not been used before to upgrade the connection to FTPS.
This does not apply to listeners configured for implicit FTPS, of course, since they're always encrypted from the start.
