| 12 | Warning: this is considered an insecure option. Consider using --ssl-reqd |
| 13 | instead to be sure curl upgrades to a secure connection. |

| 15 | Try to use SSL/TLS for the connection. Reverts to a non-secure connection if |
| 16 | the server does not support SSL/TLS. See also --ftp-ssl-control and --ssl-reqd |
| 17 | for different levels of encryption required. |

| 19 | This option is handled in LDAP since version 7.81.0. It is fully supported |
| 20 | by the OpenLDAP backend and ignored by the generic ldap backend. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Please note that a server may close the connection if the negotiation does |
| 23 | not succeed. |

| 25 | This option was formerly known as --ftp-ssl (Added in 7.11.0). That option |
| 26 | name can still be used but will be removed in a future version. |
