Connecting to a system over SSL explicit mode

I have an Ensemble installation with an FTP business operation which I would like to connect to a server over SSL in explicit mode (see also: https://www.rebex.net/kb/tls-ssl-explicit-implicit/default.aspx). I keep running into timeouts while attempting to do this via Ensemble. Does Ensemble actually support SSL in explicit mode??? Because I can't seem to find any setting where to switch it on.

Using StartTLS (explicit mode) is the default for %Net.FtpSession.   (If you wanted to, you could turn explicit mode off by setting the LegacySSL parameter.)

Have you looked at the connection attempts with a network trace to see what's actually happening?  You might also find useful information by setting the network debug flags to FFFFFFFF via ^REDEBUG in the %SYS namespace, trying a connection, and checking the cconsole.log for information about the SSL configuration which was invoked.
