Implement proper safety into FTP client #9

When talking about secure file transfer, there are two popular protocols associated with FTP:

  1. FTPS (FTP over SSL)
  2. SFTP (SSH-based protocol)

Despite being popular and having a similar name, SFTP is an entirely different protocol and is therefore out of scope for this crate, in my view.

FTPS, on the other hand, is FTP over SSL, an extension for FTP, this issue will track this implementation.
