Secure FTP on iSeries
Are there any "easy to follow" instruction documents on how to setup and manage SSL for FTP on iSeries (V5R2)? Perhaps I've not located the "right" sections of the FTP manual. Can you help me out? Need ability to securely (encrypted) ftp data from/to iSeries and a mix of unix platforms. I keep getting the old "doesn't that thing support ssh? everything else does..." question/comment from those guys. Any info would be helpful!!!

Not if I can help, I'm trying to use FTP with SSL but is giving me -23 error message (the certificate has been created with a trusted software)

If you’re looking for some documentation, iSeries user Jean-Marie Sauvageot found this article on FTP-SSL:

We setup Secure FTP with SSL on our iSeries by simply setting up our WAS server and then creating the SSL certificate by importing it. I’m not sure if the setup of the HTTP server and/or the WAS server was necessary. We had been working on the setup of these two servers to look at web-enabling our applications. The project came along to do secure FTP with our bank and I used the redbook to do the configuration using the Digital Certificate Manager. I did speak with a guy from a company in Tennessee that said the hardest part is the certificate management and he didn’t lie.
