Yes, I wrote FTPS in wget, albeit not complete.

There are some FTPS commands, such as CCC, that were impossible to implement 
with the current wget SSL/TLS API. Implementing them would require enhancing 
the SSL/TLS API. I have some notes at home about how to do that, and promised I 
would show them to you, but still haven't. My fault. I'll try to do it 
tomorrow, since today I'm in a hotel in the center of Madrid, and won't be able 
to.

Right now, wget2 lacks both FTP and FTPS support. So I guess you have to first 
implement FTP in order to have FTPS. Well, in theory, it's not a technical 
impediment to implement FTPS directly, but makes more sense to have FTP first, 
since FTPS is just extending it to tunnel its traffic through TLS.
