FTP requires a Login, and protected userids can't be used in
any login operation, so I'd be surprised if you could do it.
Why would you want to though John? Sounds like a massive
security exposure??
Intent is to avoid transmitting a password "in the clear", even though the
intended application is local-only, between LPARs within our sysplex. The
ID would also have the "restricted" attribute, to forestall any access to
resources via UACC.
There are secure flavor (enhancements) of ftp, so the password can be
sent in ciphered form.
For machine-to-machine communications it seems to be better no pasword
authorization, similar to CICS preset security.
Just my $0.02
