Hi all,

We have a hosted domain which includes an FTP server. In the past, z/OS' batch 
FTP client's GETs and PUTs to our server worked just fine. Today, I started 
FileZilla client on Windows and when I logged in, got suddenly prompted by 
FileZilla client regarding an "UNKNOWN CERTIFICATE". Recently our web hosting 
company installed the certificate. In the FileZilla message window's "SESSION 
DETAILS" section, it states that the host name, our company's domain name, does 
not match the certificate's, which is the web hosting company's domain name. 
FileZilla offers an option to trust the certificate and carry on connecting. 
That was easy. I can continue working with the FileZilla client as always.

Not so z/OS batch FTP. A simple batch request like the following fails:

//INPUT  DD  *                   
ftp.xxxxxxxx.com                 
us...@xxxxxxx.com password
bin                              
get FILEA 'FILEA.COPY' (REPLACE          
QUIT                             
//

The relevant messages are:

EZA1701I >>> USER us...@xxxxxxxx.com             
331 User us...@xxxxxxxx.com OK. Password required
EZA1701I >>> PASS                               
530 Login authentication failed

I triple-checked that the password used in FileZilla and in the batch job are 
exactly the same. So I am guessing that the failure is due to the certificate. 
This is not my area of expertise, to say the least. Is there an option on the 
z/OS side that basically says carry-on in spite of any certificate issues? Your 
pooled professional assistance appreciated as always.
