builtin vsftpd desn't support ssl due openssl library absense.
if it's included firmware can't fit 4Mb flash models.
you could try to disable builtin and install separate ftp daemon from optware

Most users don't need SSL on ftp due to huge CPU consumption by encryption 
procedures. Use scp or install separate ftp daemon.

I have one more question: How I can be secured with SSL Web Interface on 
WL-500gP ?

Thanks for the reply.

Currently, without modifying source codes, it is impossible.

Unfortunately, there is no volunteers to help us to implement this (not 
high-priority) feature.

Here is how you can securely access ftp and http:

1) Enable ssh
2) connect to ssh with localhost socks relay
3) enter localhost socks proxy into your browser or ftp client (as proxy)

now you can use localhost:21 for ftp and localhost:80 for http via localhost 
socks proxy relay and everything will be encrypted

OK, but over SSH is transfer very slow..
Is any other, functional solution for securing FTP and HTTP access over WAN ?

performance is slow because cpu is slow, you can tweek speed a little if you 
force software to use weaker encryption methods, but this offtopic on this 
tracker (try wl500g.info and other forums)

SSL has exactly the same performance issue on router CPU
