Re: Secure FTP

[Schuh, Richard]

Since it is in the same datacenter, unencrypted tape is probably no
more, probably less, secure than plain FTP.

        Hi Mike,

         

        Yes, Secure FTP is a requirement for our shop. I guess I could
do tape I haven't really thought about that. At this time we only have
one tape drive for each of our environments. What I was really trying to
do was to automate this process using FTP (Secure in my case).

         

        Thank You,

        Terry, 
        
        It's performance data.  Is that really sensitive data -
especially witting your shop?  Is there a valid business case for it to
be over Secure FTP rather than just FTP? 
        
        Secure FTP is a good idea, but at what cost? 
        
        BTW, we put ours on SL tape that the z/OS systems read.

        Hi 
          
        I am trying to figure out how to set up Secure FTP on z/VM so
that I can send data from my z/VM LPARS to my z/OS LPARS. Mostly I want
to get my z/VM z/Linux performance data over to my capacity folks on the
z/OS for reporting. I am not sure how to go about setting Secure FTP up
on z/VM. Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated. 
          
        Thanks in advance for your help! 
          
          
        Thank You,
