FTPS with SSL/TLS and Clear Command Channel

2008-06-12 Thread Fred Schmidt
Gidday, We're looking to implement FTPS with certificates and SSL/TLS. We've tried z/OS but it would appear that the server refuses to process Clear Command Channel commands. So now we're looking for alternatives such as under z/VM or z/Linux. It seems that many FTPS servers under Linux are RFC

I didn't mean to imply that the Samba client has been ported to z/OS. As far as I know it hasn't. The size of the modules is deceiving. They are highly dependent on the internals of the Linux kernel. They have been ported to some BSD variants, however BSD is very similar to Linux in many way

Thanks for the info Alan, how do I call the Samba client program from z/OS USS ? I'd ideally like to creat a mount point. btw .. the zLinux module /sbin/mount.nfs (67K) and /sbin/mount.cifs (30K) really are not that big so porting them to z/OS you would think shouldnt be a huge task. thanks, J

Short answer: no. Long answer: you confused a couple of things. There is a client program with Samba that will do FTP like functions. The mount command requires smbfs, which has not been ported to z/OS. In fact smbfs has a kernel module that would be very hard to port to z/OS. -Original
