Thanks all it appears our firewall is preventing us from using the FTP process as we get redirected as mentioned below

Port 20 and 21 are generally considered unsecure so even ftp.software.ibm.com gets redirected. So it seems the only way to download Tapetools for us from now on is https://public.dhe.ibm.com/storage/tapetool.

I'd prefer if there was no auto-redirect. With the amount of love that useful IBM sub-sites get, you can be sure that auto-redirect will inevitably lead you to www.ibm.com sometime in the future. - KB ------- Original Message ------- On Saturday, October 15th, 2022 at 1:20 PM, Paul Gilmartin <0000042bfe9c879d-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > On Sat, 15 Oct 2022 05:19:42 +0000, kekronbekron wrote: > > > Switch to this instead - > > https://public.dhe.ibm.com/storage/tapetool/ > > > > Wherever you see ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/<something>, it's worth trying > > with https://public.dhe.ibm.com/<something> instead. > > Wouldn't an automatic redirection be useful? > > Except that the obstruction seems to be the client's firewall.
