    //  The Inovis EDI VAN requires Passive connections:
    ftp.put_Passive(true);

    //  Note: The Inovis documentation mentions an outbound
    //  high port range of 40000-49999.  In passive mode, the
    //  FTP server chooses the port number for the data
    //  connection.  The Inovis server will choose a port number
    //  in the range 40000-49999.  To establish the data connection,
    //  your firewall must allow outgoing connections in that port
    //  range. 

    //  This tells Chilkat FTP2 to establish
    //  an AUTH TLS secure channel after connecting
    //  on the standard FTP port 21.
    ftp.put_AuthTls(true);

    //  You'll probably need this property set to true if you're
    //  behind a NAT router or firewall.
    ftp.put_PassiveUseHostAddr(true);

    //  The Ssl property is for establishing an implicit SSL connection
    //  on port 990.  Do not set it to true.  The Inovis VAN
    //  uses explicit encryption (SSL/TLS).
    ftp.put_Ssl(false);

    //  The Chilkat FTP component automatically sends a "FEAT";
    //  command after connecting.  This allows the component
    //  to better know the FTP server's capabilities.
    //  The Invois server doesn't recognize the FEAT command,
    //  so disable it:
    ftp.put_AutoFeat(false);
