John, In Z/OS 1.7 the Implicit SSL/TLS is no longer supported for FTP. You need to use Explicit (Auth SSL). The support for Explicit has changed, so you should upgrade to BlueZone Secure FTP 4.2.
Z/OS 1.7 and BlueZone 4.2 support RFC-4217. http://rfc.net/rfc4217.html We have separated BlueZone Secure FTP from the BlueZone package and give it away free for personal, commercial, or government use. This replaces BlueZone FTP (non-secure) and Seagull Free FTP. It installs in a different folder, so you can test it without breaking for upgrading your current BlueZone Desktop or Web-to-Host install. BlueZone Secure FTP still ships with BlueZone and installs/upgrades the same way. BlueZone Secure FTP support SSL/TLS, SSH, IPV6 and uses FIPS 140-2 encryption for SSL/TLS. You can download it at http://www.bluezonesoftware.com/products/secure-ftp . No login or email address is required. You can choose to register it or not.

I'm able to employ SSL/TLS for FTP using the Bluezone FTP client, but only if I configure it to use port 21 and "AUTH_TLS". I cannot get it working via "implicit" secure FTP using port 990; the z/OS 1.7 FTPD replies "connection refused". AFAICT, I have "all the ducks lined up in a row", with one possible exception: I don't explicitly "reserve" port 990 (and 989?) in the PORT configuration statement of PROFILE.TCPIP. The IP Configuration Reference manual "suggests" it's not necessary to do so. Might this be the "missing link" after all? Do I need to (additionally) explicitly specify the statements in FTP.DATA that the manual says are defaults for TLS_PORT, etc.?
