Nonstandard TCP port or not, TCP 22 is the standard port for ssh (and 
sftp), and not FTP/SSL.

And you're connecting to an sftp server, based on the 220 response shown.

Which means an attempt to use FTP/SSL (aka FTPS) here is likely not 
appropriate.

Try the connection again, though with sftp this time.
