Re: SFTP vs FTPS
At my shop the main reason we did not like it because of the lack of support for MVS files. We have found that if you have FTP servers and clients that support the EPSV4 command NAT is not an issue.

It is documented in the Communication Server Manuals and is called "Secure FTP". Munif Sadek wrote: Dear listers, We have tried sftp and did not like it.
