Just setting up another computer to connect to a local FTP service.

When connecting with plain text username/password, it connects fine... and when I initially tried connecting with FTPS (FTP over SSL), it also worked fine... but a few days later, it threw the following error:

I/O Error: Connection failed
ftps://...
Unable to initalize, java.io.IOException: DerInputStream.getLenth(): lengthTag=63, too big.

NOTE: This was written as I saw it, so typos might exist - not sure why I could not select the text to copy/paste.

This also had the transcript:

220 Welcome to my FTP service.
AUTH TLS
234 Proceed with negotiation.
PBSZ 0

I have been able to connect with two other computers just fine, and going back to plain text FTP is also fine.

I have wondered if the SSL certificate might have errors in the keychain, but cannot seem to find it in there - unlike the other computers.

Not sure if this is of any value though... when I originally connected, it was done from a wireless internet connection to the server on the local network... and this issue appeared later, when connecting though a 3G card.

So one possibility is that the mobile phone network, here in the UK, is perhaps using some kind of firewall, which needs to see the ports being used.

Although I thought the additional (data) ports where used later in the sequence - i.e. after login.

Unfortunately it might be a little while before I can re-test to see if the issue happens while on the local wireless network.

Ok, just to confirm, the issue does appear to be when using a 3G connection... wireless/wired connections seem fine, it might also be fine from other connections.

Do you know what could cause this?

I'm still not convinced that it would be a firewall on their network, as I am fairly sure its effects only come into play when opening additional ports, after login.

It looks like someone in the middle is tampering the SSL stream. Must be an issue with your 3G provider.
