Ya gotta get those RFEs opened.
The IOCTL interface in TCP/IP now supports client and server transition to and
from TLS.
That's means C and assembler programs have the capability. REXX and CMS
Pipelines still need to deliver exploitation of the new interface. (New for
underlying IUCV interface to TCP/IP.)
Also, secure ftp supported by VM (ftps, RFC 4217) uses the same ports as ftp.
It's not like http and https that use different ports. The ftp client and
server negotiate the use of TLS for the control and data connections.

Subject: Re: [CMS-PIPELINES] FTP stage that does encryption?
An added note, we are using the super FTP_REXX pipe stage available on the
pipelines forum.
We are moving to "Secure FTP", which uses Port 21021.
Obviously, just changing the Port in the FTP_REXX stage to use Port 21021
isn't enough.
Regular FTP using the (SECURE option does a TLS negotiation and uses Port
21021 by default.
So, the question is, how to enhance the great FTP_REXX stage to support
Secure FTP?
This Secure FTP is being enforced on all of our mainframe platforms, and
losing the use of FTP_REXX would really be a shame :-(

Subject: FTP stage that does encryption?
Is there an FTP pipe stage that does encryption?
We have a pipe stage that will *get* data if used as the first stage, or
*put* data if it's later in the pipeline. Works great, but for one thing:
it doesn't do encryption.
I looked at the source hoping I could do something like pass FTP DATA file
contents somehow, or maybe just having that file on an accessed disk would be
enough, but I don't see anything in the code that does that.
I'm also exploring ways to use VMFTP to work with a pipeline.
