This is for an application our customers will run ... some have to comply with PCI regulations which state no unencrypted data transfer.

The solution I mentioned is termed "Secure FTP" which is SSL acting
independently from FTP. As another poster mentioned it is important to
be clear what it is that you want. The other options are FTPS (SSL
integrated into the FTP server, which I now take it is what you want,
but as I mentioned if you want to extend the list of secure services
beyond FTP you will probably end up going with Secure FTP) and SFTP (FTP
over SSH). There isn't as far as I know an "SSL-FTP".

SSL FTP is the solution, I just need to figure out a way to implement it.

Since FTP was extended to FTPS via RFC 4217... The first google for "RFC
4217 iSeries" found
http://www.bluezonesoftware.com/products/secure-ftp
Just because I'm a bit paranoid... Ask yourself who is providing the
security software, are they very well known?
If not can I compile from source? All I'm saying is you can buy
antivirus these days off the web which is actually spyware, imagine
doing the same with your secure socket protected ftp... that would be
embarrassing.
