I would greatly appreciate your input in helping me securely download files. Currently, the only way I can transfer a file is via FTP (with the following SSL options checked but grayed out:  SSL Listings, SSL Transfer, Open SSL).  Checking any other option other than FTP (e.g., AUTH SSL, FTPS, SSH/SFTP) results in "can't establish connection option."
My Questions:
1. Will the FTP option I am currently using securely download files?
2.  If not, how do I get any of the other options to work?  Do I need to configure something on my server side (uses cPanel)?
Thanks,
Peter
