# `--ssl`

|
Warning: this is considered an insecure option. Consider using --ssl-reqd
|
||
|
instead to be sure curl upgrades to a secure connection.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Try to use SSL/TLS for the connection. Reverts to a non-secure connection if
|
||
|
the server does not support SSL/TLS. See also --ftp-ssl-control and --ssl-reqd
|
||
|
for different levels of encryption required.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This option is handled in LDAP (added in 7.81.0). It is fully supported by the
|
||
|
OpenLDAP backend and ignored by the generic ldap backend.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Please note that a server may close the connection if the negotiation does
|
||
|
not succeed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This option was formerly known as --ftp-ssl (added in 7.11.0). That option
|
||
|
name can still be used but might be removed in a future version.
