The download server supports FTP over SSL (FTPS) and HTTPS. See SMP/E User 
guide Zos 2.5 section “Preparing for secure Internet delivery”. That document 
states that you need at-tls because Tls 1.2 is used. This would be for pts 
ordering and download via SMP/E. When I have ordered PTFs outside of SMP/E the 
delivery package always included sample jobs for https or FTPs download.
