You probably don't have a version of WS_FTP with the proper encryption dll. You might want to get with WS_FTP support, give them the DNS name or IP address, and see if they get the same result.

Howdy, I have a client who wants to use FTP via SSL, from a PC at their site to the server hosted elsewhere. The server is running Red Hat 7.1, and I found and installed the ftpd-tls latest from ftp.runestig.com. I also installed the ftp-tls client on a system here for testing. the tls client and server talk to each other very nicely, so I think things are more or less set up OK. When I try to use the WS_FTP client to talk to the server, however, the SSL connection never gets established. AUTH SSL gets sent and acknowledged, but that's it. >From what I can decipher on the server side, it's waiting to hear from the client, and the client either isn't sending anything, or it's not the right thing. Has anyone gotten this kind of arrangement to work? Is there some sort of tweak I'm overlooking? The ftp-tls client and WS_FTP client are both connecting to the server through a firewall, but the two clients are on the same subnet, so I don't think it's a firewall problem. Anyway, any hints as to what I'm doing wrong or not doing at all would be appreciated. Especially since if I can't get this working I'll probably have to try to convince them to drop WS_FTP and go with an SSH-based FTP solution.
