Another Secure FTP thread -- Protection Levels

Read through the other FTP thread -- very helpful.

The obstacle I'm dealing with is connecting to a secure FTP server
through our router. I'm behind a Linksys router which for some reason
doesn't like to read encrypted packets.

Here's what I tried with a newly-compiled CKERMIT 8.12:

set ftp autoencryption off
set ftp authtype ssl
set ftp command-protection-level clear
ftp ###.###.###.### /user:##### /password:#####

It responds with:
Connected to ###.###.###.###
SSL accepted as authentication type

....then the self-signed certificate issue discussed in the other
thread, but not a crisis at this time.

The issue is a SHOW FTP returning:

Available security methods:

ftp authtype: SSL
ftp auto-encryption: off
ftp credential-forwarding: off
ftp command-protection-level: safe
ftp data-protection-level: private
ftp secure proxy: (not set)

How come when I set the command-protection-level to clear, it connects
as safe? Is this dictated by the server?
