RE: Encrypting FTP transfers

[Tim McCarthy <TimM@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A "relatively" cheap solution is PKZIP which allows you to password
encrypt a zipped file. There is an implementation of PGP that I believe
has been ported to the AS/400 although strictly speaking using this in a
commercial environment invalidates the RSA licensing agreement. Other
commercial products include DESCrypt from Prime Factors (541 3454334 -
Pat Walker).
