Hi, you can run the z/OS FTP Server and the FTP client unchanged if you set up AT-TLS on the mainframe and use stunnel on the FTP client platform to do the reverse thing that AT-TLS does on z/OS (transparent SSL). Stunnel uses OpenSSL libraries. There is no need for a ssh server or client.

I do not believe this can be done. You can look at FTPS (as opposed to SFTP). I think you are describing a TLS type implementation. In this case, the encryption is at the link level. SFTP encrypts the data. TLS normally requires application modification for use. IBM offers AT-TLS which does
