SFTP is a file transfer method using SSH, commonly used on Unix
systems. SSH does not use a standard PKI infrastructure (it uses it's
own host keys, that are stored in known_hosts in ~/.ssh), and thus has
no integration with DCM. SFTP also doesn't have anything to do with
FTP or FTPS, they're completely different protocols. SFTP is run in
PASE on the IBM i. You can also run an SSHD on the IBM i, which also
runs in pase. The product is 5722 SC1.

FTPS is standard FTP, extended with SSL. This uses a standard PKI and
thus needs a correctly configured DCM. The native FTP command can do
FTPS, but explicit (with STARTTLS) and implicit.

Sorry for nitpicking :)
