Any chance you can use sftp (ssh) ? FTP between the mainframes would not be encrypted unless you are using TLS of some flavor.

Newbie question: I've just started work for a new client, and they (understandably) don't care for me using Win FTP to load up my REXX tools because it's not encrypted; the REXX execs aren't secret, but my ID and password should be. But once I've laboriously gotten a bunch of things uploaded using IND$FILE, what about moving them from one complex to another? Is FTP encrypted once I'm talking between two mainframes? --- Bob Bridges, [email protected], cell 336 382-7313 /* ...in February, United States coalition-building efforts are dealt a severe blow when France announces that it will not participate in the impending Iraq invasion, a decision that, in the words of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, "could seriously impair our ability to surrender". -Dave Barry’s 2003 Year in Review */ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
