FTPS GUI client for Ubuntu?

I need to use FTPS (not, repeat not SFTP!) with a particular FTP server.

lftp is a command line client that does it, somewhat clunkily, but I an
hoping there is some way I can use FTPS from a GUI file manager.
Nautilus just says it's unsupported as soon as I put "ftps://" in the
server URL field, but maybe there is a URL syntax I am unaware of that
will turn on TSL/SSL? Googling has not turned up such a thing so far.

So - if you have a GUI+Ubuntu method of accessing an FTP server via
FTPS, please let me know!

Regards, K.

PS: Remember - FTPS. Not SFTP. They are not the same thing.

PPS: I can access this server via FTP, but the session, including
password exchange, is completely unencrypted, and I really don't want
that.
