Hi, All, I couldn't find anything relevant to the "problem du jour" in the archives or the CS for z/OS 1.7 TCPIP Implementation Volume 2 Redbook, so......
I'm able to employ SSL/TLS for FTP using the Bluezone FTP client, but only if I configure it to use port 21 and "AUTH_TLS". I cannot get it working via "implicit" secure FTP using port 990; the z/OS 1.7 FTPD replies "connection refused". AFAICT, I have "all the ducks lined up in a row", with one possible exception: I don't explicitly "reserve" port 990 (and 989?) in the PORT configuration statement of PROFILE.TCPIP. The IP Configuration Reference manual "suggests" it's not necessary to do so. Might this be the "missing link" after all? Do I need to (additionally) explicitly specify the statements in FTP.DATA that the manual says are defaults for TLS_PORT, etc.?
