Re: Native was: Secure FTP Using SSH

[Darrell A Martin <DMartin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi:

I was responding to the issue of what is "native". I tried to make it 
clear (and thought I succeeded) that this didn't really matter except when 
it came to expectations. Rephrased, "native" is a non-issue unless two 
things are true:  first, that the way something works is different from 
the way other things of the same kind work when the latter have been 
integrated into i5/OS/400 for a long time; and second, that a significant 
reason for that difference is the history of the more recent "arrival".

I remind you that I ended my message with a brief summary of my American 
genealogy, including Iroquois. It ended with something to the effect of, 
"ALL of whom came from somewhere else".
