Re: advise on a simple REXX script to automate FTP from zVM to Linux server
I use VMFTP to create EXECs / VMFTP macros that get through our firewall
just fine. Of course your
firewall may well be different. If you have to respond to a firewall prom
pt in some way, VMFTP
allows you to do that, while stacked FTP subcommands do not.

It is all about the web of trust. I don't care where other people get their certs or how much they pay for them as long as they are ultimately assured by someone *I* trust. As it turns out, the only entity I actually trust is the OS vendor. I trust Microsoft, for example, not to put just any old CA in the trusted set of certificates on Windows in some service pack. (Few ever look at the certificate chain in their web browsers.) Certificates are great as they provide the authentication, privacy, non-repudiation and convenience many people are looking for. As noted, though, they aren't truly free, no matter how little you pay for the certs themselves. You have to build/buy processes for server admins and individuals to get certs and for the enterprise to manage them. The work doesn't get done by itself. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott

That's why SCP is more widely used than SFTP; certificate management is a enormous pain. We won't go into the cost and extortion involved in getting external assurance for CA identities.

(cough) The security exposure and subsequent audit failure is the same, whether you have a clear-text password in an EXEC or a NETRC file. In either case, the password should be in clear-text only in flight, not at rest. While at rest it should be encrypted (preferred), hashed, or otherwise obscured.

Re: advise on a simple REXX script to automate FTP from zVM to Linux server
Agree -- that way you can have the same code run against different hosts, etc and be separated from the userid/pw pair to use. And updating a NETRC DATA file through automation is much easier than updating an EXEC - if you need a way to keep up with pw changes. It's really not any more secure, though.. it's still readable text in a file. Just better separation of code from 'data'.

Re: advise on a simple REXX script to automate FTP from zVM to Linux
server
Hi
Can anyone advise or has a ready zVM REXX script (zVM 5.4) that will ftp
a file from zVM to linux (or unix)?
Is it using VMFTP?
A simple one will do ... will try to automate it afterwards.
Many thanks in advance.
