Re: Secure FTP on i

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Perhaps.... but using client-side certificates in FTPS to replace 
passwords is even more involved than digital keys in sftp!  So, sftp is 
still easier to set up.

I suppose if you compare password authentication with ftps against 
digital key authentication with sftp, then ftps might be easier. 
(Assuming you have a network where it'll work at all.)  But...  that's 
not really comparing apples to apples, is it?
