Bingo.  That’s why I mentioned it.  Seemed like an error on the webpage.

No obstacle, and yes they do work.  The java utility does encryption, which is 
a new requirement.  Looks like I still have to get FTPs or HTTP_PROXY working.  
FTPs is a problem here as IBM requires a range of ports for passive TLS 
transfers.  Something my security folks are balking at.   IBM used to use just 
one port, which they were ok with.

I kinda had set this all aside for a bit until this alert came out, as I was 
still using anonymous FTP to testcase.boulder.ibm.com on standard FTP port.   
Sounds like tomorrow that ends.   I don’t want to have to resort to browser 
based uploads if I can help it.
