I need to connect to a "secure" FTP from Valicert. It allows third party clients to connect. Here's the decription from their web site:
Hardened FTPD Server
FTP protocol handler accepts and validates incoming FTP and FTP/SSL connections and processes FTP commands and file transfers. It supports FTP/SSL using Secure FTP standard (RFC2228) and an alternate FTP/SSL implementation that is more compatible with standard firewall configurations. Based on specified event types, it triggers Event Manager, passes relevant parameters and, for some event types, the incoming data stream.
I'm not sure how to set up Core FTP to log in and upload files to this server. I set up to use Port 21, PASV Transfers (I'm behind a firewall so I assume I need this.) Here are the logs from attempts with the three different SLL Options:

According to RFC2228, the "334" reply means:
334 [ADAT=base64data]
; This reply indicates that the requested security mechanism
; is ok, and includes security data to be used by the client
; to construct the next command. The square brackets are not
; to be included in the reply, but indicate that
; security data in the reply is optional.
So I'm looking at the right (destination) pane and everything is disabled. I must be missing a step but I don't know what.
I'm also confused that there is no prompt to accept a certificate. I installed the server's certificate in Internet Explorer (Version 6) but Core FTP's SSL Certificate Management window is empty. What the heck?
Please Help! Thanks
