Dan,

I am new to curl so maybe I just have the syntax wrong. I want to retrieve a file from the spot where the login drops me when I connect to their site is this syntax correct. it doesn't retrieve any files.

curl --ftp-ssl -1 -S --trace-ascii curltrace.trc --cacert /opt/TWWfsw/curl715/share/verisign4_b64_all.pem --cert-type PEM -vu DCH00YU:gu83u8usd01l ftp://136.181.135.38:11250

the port I need is 11250.

Thanks,
Brad.

Below is the curl command I ran and the results. Can you help with the handshake error that I am getting. I have run out of options. Is there something the certificate which I got from the vendor or something else going on? Any direction or help would be great. I did get curl to work connecting to another Unix server via ftp so I know curl works ok.

What version of curl?

Great password. I hope you don't use it for anything but your cert.

You don't want ftps: here. That will encrypt the control channel, which this
server doesn't want. You want a plain ftp: URL here and the --ftp-ssl option
to negotiate SSL in the ftp session.

This is always bad. Can you run this under a debugger and see where it fails?
