Kurt, I am using FTPS. Just because I specify deliverycb-bld.dhe.ibm.com doesn't mean that when it resolves that it is the same:
Connecting to: dispby-117.boulder.ibm.com 170.225.15.117 port: 21 I ran into this with our Firewall weenies and it took a bit of work for them to get it right. This may not be exactly as Barb was stating but it is in the ballpark.

(Hold your fire against me - > I am just repeating what I was told, I know nothing about the rules > governing this). Barbara, I don't understand the problem you are describing. What "popup"? When I suggest using HTTPS, I am referring to downloading from IBM's servers direct to your z/OS system. This is done using SMP/E, and SMP/E can use either FTPS or HTTPS to actually copy the file across the network. There is no web browser, no UI, no pop-up. Just an SMP/E job. I was not suggesting using the download links on your Shopz order page, which downloads the files to your workstation. Feel free to send me clarifying information off-list if you prefer.
