You might want to use FTPS as the shorthand name for FTP/TLS or FTP/SSL. SFTP often refers to SSH file transfer protocol. (And FTP over SSH is yet a third choice, as mentioned.) At least, that seems to be what Wikipedia thinks in terms of keeping the naming straight, so it must be true, right? :-)
For the record, OpenSSH (with sftp) was made available all the way back at least to z/OS 1.4, but the current version requires z/OS 1.7 or higher. There are several other ways to transfer files of course. And this occasion may be the time to consider whether all the file transfer you have are appropriate. FTP (in any flavor) can have a lot of architectural disadvantages, particularly for interactions between on-line applications. But I've said more on that previously, so I'll stop here. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
