SSL ftp from Unix
I need to make an SSL FTP connection from my Unix machine to an SSL FTP server. I've found lots of SSL-capable FTP clients for windows machines, but can't seem to find any for Unix (HP-UX 11i, to be specific).

I found, and have tried a package called tlswrap, but that is not working.

Anybody know of anything else? Or anybody gotten tlswrap to work in a similar situation so that they might be able to help me through it?

Thanks!

scp?
Why not consider scp? It's very secure and requires no additional software to be installed. When used with ssh-keygen, it does not require a password to be typed, which can be handy when used in a script.

Because the remote machine I need to FTP a file to is not mine--I have no control over it. They run an SSL FTP server and I have to run a client that will connect to it and put a file onto their machine.
