The primary difference between FTP and FTPS is the FTPS encrypts the password. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Richards, Robert B. Sent: Friday, September 15, 2017 8:43 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: ShopzSeries FTP password in the clear My cyber security folks are asking me about why I am doing FTPs with the password "in the clear". At first, I did not know what they talking about. It appears that within the SERVINFO data "user=" and "pw=" are *in the clear*. Not always, but often enough. I sent an email to L2 Shopz over a week ago and have not heard back from them. Before I open a PMR, I wondered if the list had some sage advice (like an options statement that I am missing).
