FTP using the SSH is not what we want, I believe. We want FTP/SSL or FTPS (implicit SSL). Which from my earlier question about FTP and TCP/IP on z/OS is not in the BASE TCP/IP suite. Alan this statement would this be the part of the IBM PORTED Tools that you are talking about (see below). If it is then, That would SFTP and not the FTP/SSL (FTPS) that we require. TCP/IP is part of z/OS Communications Server (nee VTAM). It is not a part of the base z/OS. It is a charge feature of z/OS. "sftp" is available for z/OS, but must be ordered. It is part of the OpenSSH port ( 5655-M23). It is free. This version of sftp only support z/OS UNIX files. (It is amazing that the simple definition of SFTP versus FTPS can cause me so much grief on a Friday afternoon at 16:20. And I am leaving so expect a late response.) Here is the Wikipedia definitions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SFTP I think that I am getting confused with SecureFTP for VSE (CSI's product and the one we want) which by definition is FTPS. FTP using SSL and TLS. Plus I have some Opie that indicates that they want SFTP and ". SFTP, for our purposes here at <name removed> , is for Implicit SSL connections. FTPS, is for SSH connections which we don't accept at all in fact. " FTPS that matches what I have in WS_FTP PRO. This is what WS-FTP has [cid:[email protected]] [cid:[email protected]] Ed Martin Aultman Health Foundation 330-363-5050 ext 35050
