I am curious about AT-TLS and why not consider it?

Is AT-TLS only for use when two mainframes are communicating, or would it work if the server is a Linux or other OS machine? Then, is it only a mainframe client that can use the AT-TLS connection, or could Filezilla use it when connecting to a mainframe or other server?

Thank you and best regards,
Billy Ashton

Windows native FTP doesn't support FTPS  (FTP with RFC 4217 - aka negotiated or 
explicit TLS).    Filezilla does (and has z/OS support).  The FTP client that 
comes with PCOMM does (I'm not talking about 3270 file transfer).   There are 
others.

Don't mess with AT-TLS for this.   z/VM and z/OS added the support for RFC 4217 
so that there's no question about what is and isn't encrypted.
