Sorry to harp on a question that I've asked before, but I need to ask it again.
We cannot use FTPS here because the proxy appliance we're required to go
through (Blue Coat) does not understand it. We get 'syntax error' from the
appliance with FTPS keywords. We have no problem with Shopz orders getting
delivered directly to the mainframe. In the past I was told that we should be
fine because this indicates that HPPTS is working. However, we also see the
messages below in a Shopz order. Looks a lot like vanilla FTP. I need some
reassurance. ;-)

No, it only affects "IBM download servers used for all z/OS product and service
orders."
