TcpSlaveBase provides SSL support, yes.

It works for HTTPS.

Yes.

Those are all relate to read returning 0 when we lose the connection.
Might be related to BR85719, needs to be fixed for sure, but shouldn't stop 
you from using it for ftp.

The major issue is that TCPSlaveBase was build on the assumption that you have 
one connection. FTP uses a separate data connection and I don't know if it is 
easy to use a second TCPSlaveBase for such second connection. I guess you are 
better off using KSSL directly for the data connection and just copy and 
copy&paste the relevant code from TCPSlaveBase.

Cheers,
Waldo
