It differs from "Open FTP connection" in that it encrypts the transmission and reception, and many FTP servers cannot connect without this action.
How to use
Drag "Open secure FTP connection" under "FTP".
Set parameters.
Then put in place each action of the FTP operation and finally terminate it with the "Close connection" action.
