There's also some info about secure FTP: In the fourth quarter of 2012, IBM plans to make secure delivery via FTP using Secure Sockets Layer (FTPS) an option for Internet delivery of ServerPac, CBPDO, SystemPac®, FunctionPac, ProductPac®, and Internet delivery of PTFs ordered using ShopzSeries and the SMP/E RECEIVE ORDER command. In the third quarter of 2012, IBM plans to make a connectivity test available on ShopzSeries to help you verify that your system is set up to support secure delivery. In the fourth quarter of 2013, IBM plans to require the use of FTPS for direct downloads to z/OS systems. Download Director, an alternative download method you can use to download packages to a workstation and transfer them to z/OS later, is not affected by this change and is planned to remain available.
This is very good news. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
