You have to verify if SFTP(ssh ftp) or FTPS(ftp over tls) is used but on z/OS, for what I know we use only the second. Regarding port question, I'm almost sure that port may be also 21 for ftps that doesn't matter...(and may also be high and not secured) SMF if implemented can use default TYPE 119 with different subtype record.
Configuration of connection method is on DD SYSFTPD. For secure connection you will find a SECURE_FTP allowed or required and other parameter like secure_mechanism(i.e. TLS). If you can verbose or debug your connection(or you have a log) you will see if AUTH/PROTP is done. i.e. EZA1701I >>> AUTH TLS 234 Using authentication type TLS EZA2895I Authentication negotiation succeeded EZA1701I >>> PBSZ 0 200 PBSZ=0 EZA1701I >>> PROT P 200 Protection level set to P EZA2906I Data connection protection is private For uss connection SYSFTPD can be included using -f option and security mechanism specified using -r option. Hope in this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
