All, We used to be able to FTP TLS/SSL encrypted data (dumps, etc) to IBM by opening the firewall at our end to certain IBM IP addresses/ports(21) like testcase.boulder.ibm.com, etc. Somewhere along the line, I believe IBM changed their servers to redirect the data connection off port 21 onto a range in the 65024-65535 which now fails miserably, and the PTB here won't entertain opening up a range of ports like that. I've managed to get our SMPE RECEIVE ORDER fixed by converting to HTTPS and coding our proxy server. You may recall my ailings on this topic a week or so ago....Thanks to Kurt Q for the assist.
Now, the problem is sending IBM diagnostic data. Again, I was able to do that direct from one of my tech lpars to testcase.ibm.com after opening firewall for outbound connections. That also quit working, for the same reasons. I'm playing around with the IBM PDUU (AMAPDUPL) utility, which has support for passing data through proxy server, but in general it seems pretty kludgy. Is anyone aware of a way to use straight FTP, and provide the necessary client options, or ftp subcommands to pass the data through a proxy server? I'd love to see something that one of you might have. I'll send a virtual cold beverage to whomever can show me some samples...
