Classification: Confidential

IBM made a change to no longer accept non-secured connections due to some EU 
privacy laws. IIRC July 2021 or so. HTTPS or FTPS is required.
I do not know if AT-TLS is one of the accepted protocols.

HTH,

We have been using plain old FTP to IBM (downloading enhanced hold data) for 
quite a while now and in the last week or so, we had to convert to
using FTPS (TLS 1.2).   So to me, it appears IBM made a change and now
requires a secure connection.   Yes, I know we can use SMPE RECEIVE ORDER,
and we do but we had a STEP in one of our jobs that used the old way.
