SFTP more secure??? Think not -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Seymour J Metz Sent: Friday, April 16, 2021 7:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: FTP-Links in IBM Websites and PTFs
** EXTERNAL EMAIL - USE CAUTION ** I don't know the details, just that SFTP (over SSH) is considered more secures than FTPS. Raw SFTP is not secure. SFTP is another overloaded acronym; there is a simple FTP that, I hope, nobody is advocating. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
