IBM doesn't officially support client certificates with their FTP client. 
You can set one, but you can't change it on a per-server or per-user 
basis.  So once you've set a client certificate for the FTP client, it's 
used for all secure FTP sessions to all servers and by all users!

I've heard people say (on several occasions) that they were going to 
contribute SSL support to FTPAPI, but as of yet, nobody has.  I'd add it 
myself, but I haven't had a business need for it, and I have a lot of 
"real" work to do :)

By contrast, HTTPAPI does fully support SSL, and you can configure as many 
different Digital Certificate Manager profiles as you like, each one with 
it's own client certificate.
