[SOLVED] Caja and FTPS connections

I don’t think the Connect to Server option in Caja where you choose FTP (with login) actually uses FTP/SSL. So probably not, at least not by just using Caja.

You can however, use the package curlftpfs to mount an ftp host as a local directory
http://curlftpfs.sourceforge.net/

Create the mount point i.e. folder /mnt/host first, of course…

um@um:~$ curlftpfs -o ssl,utf8 ftp://yourserver.net /mnt/host

Then it would show up in Caja as a mounted location under “Network”. And you could always set it to mount automatically at startup as the curlftpfs link explains above.
