Java Security

I've built somekind of advanced ftp server, and i would now like to add SSL or TLS on the server.
Implementing implicit SSL is easy. I used some SSL sockets, and everything was working fine.
But if i want to use TLS or explicit SSL, i have a problem.

With an SSL socket, any attemps to read/write with the streams initiate an handshake.
But an explicit SSL connection is done that way:

-> Connecting to myftpserver.com port 21
-> Connected to myftpserver.com
Server: Welcome to this nice ftp
Server: Enjoy this nice server
-> AUTH SSL
Server: 234 AUTH SSL successful
-> Now negociating SSL session...


So, as u can see, some data(welcome msg, AUTH SSL command, etc) are exchanged BEFORE the SSL negociation.
I dont know how to do that since "any attemps to read/write with the streams initiate an handshake"


I hope someone will be able to help me :)
