RE: SFTP with client

["Chris Bipes" <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have to import their root certificate to your certificate store
using DCM.  Most likely they have a self generated SSL certificate, if
it is from some vender such as VeriSign, it should work unless you
certificate store is way out of date.  Have you configured SSL on your
system at all?

Latest word from Vendor was"

Can you try one more thing on the AS400? Can you set the FTP client to
use
SSL again, but this time point it to port 13267 instead of port 13266?
The
later is for SFTP, which you've established isn't supported on your
installation. The 13267 is FTPS (implicit), which is FTP tunneled over
FTP.
This may be what the AS400 is attempting to do.


I tried doing it with FTP to their site with port set to 13267 and
secure
connection set to *SSL which never connects and also with secure
connections
et to *IMPLICIT (which came back with

Connecting to host EXTERNALFTP.XXXXXXX.COM at address 2XX.XX.XXX.XXX
using
port 13267.
Secure connection error, return code -23.


Still not sure why they are having me do this since there documentation
shows they ONLY support the SSH2 protocol which from Scotts very helpful
emails I believe means the native i5 FTP client is NOT going to work no
matter what.

Sorry, Scott didn't mean to imply it was "better" just that it would be
'easier" on this end since I've only got till Friday.
