Thanks for the info.  I got this question from one of our developers.
We also have Patrick Townsend's FTP product and it does SSL FTP.

What do you mean by "FTPS"?  Do you mean FTP over SSL?  (which is "ftps"

in the services table, and probably in URIs) or do you mean SFTP, which 
is an FTP-lookalike utility based on the SSH protocol?

The reason I ask is that people usually refer to FTP over SSL as "SSL
FTP" 
or "Secure FTP", and I've found it to be uncommon outside of the
iSeries.

However, "SFTP" is typically called that, and is much more common, 
especially on Unix/Linux machines...  so I'm wondering if that might be 
what you meant?

Both of them should be possible on the iSeries if you're on V5R3. The
SSH 
stuff requires PASE, more info is here:

SSL FTP on the iSeries requires SSL installed on the system. More info
is 
here:

rzainplanssl.htm

I'm not sure about SSL FTP on Windows or Unix, since I've never done
that.

sftp is a standard command on most Linux distros, and PuTTY comes with 
a free sftp client for Windows called "psftp".
