Thanks so much. The reply is very helpful.
On Number 3 from what I understand, on the first transmission (or maybe
during some setup step) the bank will send the certificate, and I guess
I will need to store it on my server, so it can be used in subsequent
transmissions. I have asked them for more information on how this will
work, but I guess I will have to wait until I get it.
On number 6, I am also unsure, but I will try your suggestion

Thanks again
Margaret

check, at least if you use libcurl. curl currently has no option to
alter
which of the SSL and TLS AUTH options it tries first.

The presentation? I'm not sure what you want here so I'm not sure.

check

5. Must support passive transmission

check (not that the actual transmission is passive but I think I know
what
you meant - it is the connection behaviour that is called "passive")

address substitution how?

#2 --ftp-ssl-reqd and could #6 possibly be --ftp-skip-pasv-ip ?
