I've browsed thru the much discussion on secure ftp lately, picked up some good tips, but have not come across this particular problem. Any help will be appreciated.
(Sorry if this gets confusing. Internal means behind the network firewall. External means outside. IP addresses are just examples.) Attempts to go from internal zos ftps client to internal zos ftps server (10.16.x.x to 10.16.33.x) is successful. Attempts to go from internal zos ftps client to external ftps server fails. (10.16.x.x to 64.x.x.x). We get message, 500 Syntax error, command unrecognized: "AUTH TLS". See the cut-n-paste below. Attempts to go from external win2k ftps client to internal zos ftps server fails with the same message. (204.x.x.x to 167.x.x.x NATed to 10.16.33.x) Attempts to go from external win2k ftps client to external ftps server is successful. (204.x.x.x to 64.x.x.x). I suspect a firewall issue and am trying to work with the network folks on confirming this. I've already got the zos firewall configured to allow traffic through. Turning server DEBUG options on would need to be done on the external ftps server, of which I have no control. Anybody run into this problem when setting up ftps on zos? 220-FTPC1 IBM FTP CS V1R4 at x.x.x.x, 17:26:43 on 2005-06-17 220 Connection will close if idle for more than 5 minutes.
