The solution I mentioned is termed "Secure FTP" which is SSL acting
independently from FTP.

I'm pretty sure the iSeries FTP server with SSL enabled won't work in that situation.

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".

FTPS, SSL FTP, FTP SSL, it all pretty much means the same thing (at least from my perspective).

SFTP (FTP over SSH) isn't really FTP, as it doesn't use a FTP server ... it uses the SSH server.

Since JT400 already supports secure connection's (with the exception of FTP), I'm pretty sure all I need is a FTP client library that supports SSL.

Just because I'm a bit paranoid... Ask yourself who is providing the
security software, are they very well known?

This is one of the reasons I would prefer an open source implementation. That way I know if there are any hidden buggaboos.
