How does the Ftp(), @Ftp ( ) and @FtpList ( ) commands and functions handle the security requirements such as Client side certificate such as SSL 530? As such this SSL business is above my head Huh

SSL is not part of the FTP standard.  I'm surprised you're even encountering a site that incorporates SSL with their FTP implementation.  Most firms I've dealt with who require encryption of FTP files use PGP to encrypt the files themselves rather than attempting to rely on SSL to encrypt the session.

If you have a server requiring SFTP, you will need to use one of the Shell or Process commands to automate an SFTP program instead of using the built in FTP commands.
