Re: What is the different between SFTP ad FTP over SSL

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

SFTP = Not really FTP, but an FTP-like user interface over the SSH 
protocol. IBM does not provide native support, but does provide the 
OpenSSH package in PASE, which works well.

FTP over SSL:  The standard FTP protocol with SSL encryption added. 
This is notoriously difficult to get working through NAT, and even 
sometimes hard through a straight firewall.  But has native support in 
IBM i.

This has been discussed quite a few times on Midrange-L.  Searching the 
archives should give you a lot of information.
