RE: Attention all IBM i shops. You may not be aware of it, but FTP is changing to FTPS/SFTP (secure) before the end of June or in early July 2021.

It appears as though IBM is trying to drop regular FTP in favor of the
secured FTP, although I cannot fathom why. What's to protect with a bunch
of binary downloads that can't be used unless you have a copy of IBM i
available, and anonymous log in?

The implementation date was June 1, but clearly they've blown that date out.
(not that I care, I don't)

What is this referring to? PTF orders?

Seriously they earlier had given a date before this but now are
hedging their bets.

Attention all IBM i shops. You may not be aware of it, but FTP is

changing to FTPS/SFTP (secure) before the end of June or in early July
2021. (It's not clear.) All orders submitted just prior to the change
will be removed.

What is this actually stating?

Thank You
