Been a long time since my site locked us out of ftp:// from a browser, a hard fight I fought but seeing I am allowed to use https via z/OS and can receive all holddata in a batch job the ability to ftp from the browser is not a issue for me. Carmen Vitullo

That page should have been available first or simultaneously and the anchor should appear in the Red Alert. I see the https now appears in the Red Alert. o It's not an anchor. o It requires credentials, unlike the FTP link. IBM chooses to hold security alerts close to the vest. This is no excuse for making the FTP publicly available but not the HTTPS. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
