Yeah, forget "regular ftp". Methinks you're going to have to use sftp.
Hence the SSL stuff.
sftp - Secure FTP
SSL - Secure Sockets Layer

No. SFTP uses the SSH protocol, and isn't really related to FTP at all.

SSL or TLS, in combination with FTP, are referred to as FTPS. This is
basically "regular" FTP, wrapped with a security layer.
