> Really? IBM requires this but it's not documented anywhere?

Not specific for the IBM software download servers, but here's the general doc 
about configuring the FTP client to use AT-TLS (but I admit it looks a little 
thin):
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0?topic=security-steps-migrating-ftp-server-client-use-tls

And about the TLSMECHANSIM statement in FTP.DATA:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0?topic=protocol-tlsmechanism-ftp-client-server-statement

> And no one on this list is doing this? You're all using HTTPS?

Genuinely curious, why aren't you using HTTPS?  I'm certainly no network 
expert, but I've been told it requires much less firewall futzing.

Chuck Norris never uses CHECK when he applies PTFs.
