FTP client that really supports SSL?

I need to access some files on a server that requires "implicit ssl". I have tried gFTP and FlashFXP using wine. In gFTP I can change the protocol to ftps, but it doesn't really do anything. With FlashFXP there is an option for implicit ssl which works when in windows, but fails while its is negotiating the ssl connection. I have searced for other ftp clients, but haven't found any good ones. Are there any clients that do this for linux? hopefully gui

I don't have access to a SSL-enabled FTP server, but looking in net-ftp gives me...

ftp - seems to do SSL. It says that SSL-then-FTP isn't implemented, but that's not what you're looking for, is it?
gftp - says it does SSL for the control channel only
kasablanca - says it supports "ssl/tls connections" for both auth and data
lftp - FTPS support

That's all from portage. I found that list by doing something like this:

Well, it only requires kdelibs and kde-env. That isn't that bad.

If you want a graphical program, that's really your only way to go.

Filezilla runs under wine with a few annoyances.

Kasablanca looks nice, but Im not impressed with its SSL capibilities. I run a implicit ssl server and it doesnt like connecting to it. maybe 2/5 tries, yet, flashfxp will connect everytime. I wish somemore gui fxp programs would come out for nix :/

Kasablanca is working ok for me although my ProFTP server uses TLS explicit encryption. The interface is definately a bit rough. The only connection settings are "Encryption level" 1 2 and 3 whatever that means. I set it to 3 and it worked.
Regular netkit ftp with ssl support worked well untill I had to put the server in passive mode for the firewall. If you can use active mode, you might give that a shot.
