    --  The Inovis EDI VAN requires Passive connections:
    EXEC sp_OASetProperty @ftp, 'Passive', 1

    --  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.
    EXEC sp_OASetProperty @ftp, 'AuthTls', 1

    --  You'll probably need this property set to 1 if you're
    --  behind a NAT router or firewall.
    EXEC sp_OASetProperty @ftp, 'PassiveUseHostAddr', 1

    --  The Ssl property is for establishing an implicit SSL connection
    --  on port 990.  Do not set it to 1.  The Inovis VAN
    --  uses explicit encryption (SSL/TLS).

    --  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:
    EXEC sp_OASetProperty @ftp, 'AutoFeat', 0

    --  Connect, convert to TLS, and login to the FTP server.
