Java Security

I am trying to connect to an out of network server using org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPSClient
and trying to upload a file.
The code works correctly when i execute it from localhost but throws the following exception from prod server.

javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: bad_record_mac

at org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPSClient._connectAction_(FTPSClient.java:171)
at org.apache.commons.net.SocketClient.connect(SocketClient.java:178)

Code
FTPClient ftp = new FTPSClient("SSL")
ftp.connect(server, 21);

reply = ftp.getReplyCode();

if (!FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(reply)) {
ftp.disconnect();
log.debug("FTP server refused connection.");
return;
}
//ftp.enterRemotePassiveMode();
ftp.enterLocalPassiveMode();

ftp.login(username, password);

======================
Any suggestions why would it work from my localhost and not from the server.
Could it be a firewall issue or do i need to user a certificate?
