AUTH SSL option problem

I've set my favorite to use AUTH SSL, but when connecting, AUTH TLS is sent everytime. I've set the setting in the favorite and as the global SSL setting. I'm using 2.0.996.

Hello ..

SmartFTP sends AUTH TLS command, if it fails it will fall back to the deprecated AUTH SSL. This is by design and shouldn't make any problems with your FTP server.

Please send the log.

Thank you.

Here's the log. The problem is when the LIST command is issued, it fails. The server I'm connecting to requires AUTH SSL. I have another FTP program that issues AUTH SSL and it works just fine. It doesn't make sense to me to have an option to use AUTH SSL and then the program overrides me and issues AUTH TLS. Why have an option?

Hello ..

1. Send the complete log from SmartFTP

2. Send the log form the other FTP client where the LIST works.

Welcome to Core FTP, release ver 1.3c, build 1447.5 (U) --

Hmm. Interesting. Is there a chance we can get a test account on the FTP server in question?
