- get IBM's ftp client to use "client certificates"

IBM doesn't officially support client certificates with their FTP client. You can set one, but you can't change it on a per-server or per-user basis. So once you've set a client certificate for the FTP client, it's used for all secure FTP sessions to all servers and by all users!

- figure out if I want to use ftp api to do my own ftp client and figure
out how to support "client certificates" there

I've heard people say (on several occasions) that they were going to contribute SSL support to FTPAPI, but as of yet, nobody has. I'd add it myself, but I haven't had a business need for it, and I have a lot of "real" work to do :)

- use the httpapi as others are doing.

By contrast, HTTPAPI does fully support SSL, and you can configure as many different Digital Certificate Manager profiles as you like, each one with it's own client certificate.
