So did you try the upload case and use -k with it?

You mean for your client certificate? I didn't see any such in the options you
said you used.

Right, the server doesn't seem to require a client cert.

Uh, you can't just make one up if the server requires one.

Yes, but I bet you confused lots of options with -key (which is the equivalent
of doing -k -e -y) and then add a file name?

Even so, "c:\OpenSSL\CA.crt" sounds like a cacert which is far from a key.

And that's why I suggested the ethereal/capture approach since the server
clearly accepts the data connection but then it seems the server doesn't wanna
play games anymore.

Of course, if you don't have access to this server yourself to check the logs
etc, one feasable solution is that you get their software and run your own
"wrapper" around a similar FTP server version to see if you can repeat the
problem there and thus understand more about everything around it.
