FTPS connection using jscape ftps library

Question

All, I am trying to create an FTPS connection using the jscape library from jscape.com

My FTP connection works fine, however when I try to create an FTPS connection, the application simply hangs at the line:

ftp.connect();

where ftp is an instance of com.jscape.inet.ftps.Ftps.

I have provided userid, password and starting directory. However this does not seem to work.

I could connect to the FTPS server using filezilla with the same credentials.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks, Ayusman
