I have been following several of these conversations about IBM going to
require secure FTP for PTF downloads etc. I can not say that I understand
the difference between FTP and SFTP and FTP/S as Patrik S. said in a recent
post.

I guess my real question is.
I have automated FTP scripts that are built and run from the RPG/CLLE/OCL
etc. These will FTP put/get/rename/delete the IFS from Native, or FTP
put/get/rename/delete a windows server from either the IFS or Native. The
question is do I need to convert these FTP scripts to SFTP or FTP/S?
Thanks. You guys are a wealth of information.
