I notice there's openssl095a-0.9.5a-11.i386.rpm in the package list,
you might have to install this one to get the older versions of the
libraries. If this works then that's probably the best answer.
Don't uninstall your current version, they should both be able to
be installed at the same time.


Sometimes with these library version problems, symlinks can work:

  ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6b /lib/libcrypto.so.1
  ln -s /lib/libssl.so.0.9.6b /lib/libssl.so.1

If that does seem to work then I would suggest you do a bit of
testing because there might be some trivial incompatibility that
causes it to crash. Then again, you probably just want to do
regular ftp which is never going to use the details of the ssl
system anyhow.

If droids could think, none of us would be here.
