Thanks for your help. We will have to investigate.

The only reason we were trying to use regular FTP is that we specifically asked the vendor
whether we should be using FTP, SFTP or FTPS, and they told us that it has to be FTP.

We suspected that it was either SFTP or FTPS, but they insisted that we should use neither and that it must be regular FTP.

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.
