Mike, Secure FTP was possible prior to z/VM 5.3. You had to specify SECURE on the PORT statement for the FTP server and the client had to initiate a secure connection to the port.
In z/VM 5.3 we've added the ability for the client and server to negotiate security options based on RFC 4217 (Securing FTP with TLS). Configuration of the FTP server to support TLS is discussed in TCP/IP Planning and Customization, Chapter 8. Configuring the FTP Server (specifically Step 6: Configure Secure FTP Connections).
