Using SmartFTP with SSL.

I am using SmartFTP from a Win XP box up to a IBM Z Series mainframe. SSL support has been turned on. Keys generated and sent up to the mainframe. Both private and data connections are secure. I have tried both Explicit and Implicit FTP transfers. The connection happens but a failure occurs on the key exchanges. Below is the error:

Connected. Exchanging encryption keys...
[14:25:37] SSL/TLS client handshake failed (Error = 0x80090308).
[14:25:37] Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)...
[14:25:37] The system detected an invalid pointer address in attempting to use a pointer argument in a call.
[14:25:38] Client closed the connection.

Can anyone assist me with this problem.

Please post the complete log.

You should only use SSL/TLS Explicit on port 21.

I have tried using SSL/TLS Explicit on port 21 and below is the log:

Seems like the mainframe is dropping the connection.

Hello ..

Thank you. From the log you have sent it seems your FTP server doesn't support TLS/SSL Explicit. You may want to contact the server administrator to check if this feature is enabled.
