I'm probably just going about this all wrong, as I know nothing about SSL and FTP, but here's my problem.

I'm trying to connect to the secure FTP server on my college campus. I can connect to it just fine with SSH Secure Shell's FTP client, but that client is anoying, and I'd really like to use FlashFXP instead.

When I connect using SSH Secure Shell's client, I use all the default options, and it connects fine. I tried doing that with FlashFXP (port 21), and I got "connection refused". So I changed to port 22, and I get this text in my connection log:

[R] Connecting to falcon -> DNS=falcon.csc.calpoly.edu IP=129.65.242.5 PORT=22
[R] Connected to falcon
[R] SSH-2.0-Sun_SSH_1.1

for a few minutes, and then I guess the connection times out and I see:

[R] Connection failed (Connection lost)

That's with "Standard" selected in the SSL tab.

If I use "Implicit SSL" I get this:

[R] Connecting to falcon -> DNS=falcon.csc.calpoly.edu IP=129.65.242.5 PORT=22
[R] Connected to falcon
[R] Connected. Negotiating SSL session..
[R] SSL ERROR: unknown protocol
[R] Failed SSL negotiation, disconnected
[R] Connection failed (Connection closed by client)

If I use "Auth SSL" I get this text:

[R] Connecting to falcon -> DNS=falcon.csc.calpoly.edu IP=129.65.242.5 PORT=22
[R] Connected to falcon
[R] SSH-2.0-Sun_SSH_1.1

few a while, and then:

[R] Connection failed (Connection lost)

If I cancel curing the timeout between those last two messages, I get:

[R] QUIT
[R] Protocol mismatch.
[R] Connection failed (Connection lost)


Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Maybe FlashFXP doesn't support whatever security system the FTP I want to connect to uses? I don't understand anything about SSL FTP, so I'm competely lost as to why it won't work.
