If FTPSclient certificate hostname verification accepts any hostname other than 
the owner while you are attempting SSL transmission to Nokia then the 
"certificate hostname verification" is not working

If this is case please file JIRA for "certificate hostname verification 
enhancement"
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET
 
In the meanwhile 
1)request VPN access to the client which you can pass credentials with provided 
certificate
2)ssh with provided certificate
the validation of the provided cert will get you behind the firewall..in which 
case you will be able to execute ftp, scp,rcp
 
Tak,
