Newbie question

Hi everybody!

I want to perform a sort of comm protocol between to systems that looks like
follows:
1.- In first place I have to communicate with an HTTP(s) server to ask them
for a list of files that I have to retrievo from an FTP(s) server.
2.- Then I have to connect to that FTP(s) server and get those files I was
told to.

I've been browsing the web and reading doc about SSL, SSH, LibWWW and so on.
I would like to know whether I would be able to perform both https and ftps
requests with LibWWW together with OpenSSL... and I would like to know also
if I could communicate this way with ready-cooked http(s) and ftp(s) servers
(I am thinking about Apache and the FTP server available at
www.openssh.org).

I'm really newbie at these topics, so I would appreciate any suggestion,
advice or whatever. Thanks in advance and best regards,
