FTP
VLC uses this protocol (or access module) to read data from a device or network.
This protocol is handled by the ftp module.

File Transfer Protocol or FTP is used to download or upload files.

TLS support (encryption) was added in 2.2.0. Implicit TLS is preferable over Explicit TLS.

The syntax for Implicit TLS (most secure):

ftps://host/file
ftps://host:port/file

The syntax for Explicit TLS:

ftpes://host/file
ftpes://host:port/file

Or for no encryption:

ftp://host/file
ftp://host:port/file
