Bill,

I've never heard of PGP for the iSeries. I would think, though, that you could transfer them to the IFS or your PC and encrypt them there using the PC version of PGP. Then FTP them from there.

If the bank can't deal with that scenario, it must be because they expect to be able to decrypt them directly on their iSeries. I.e., I'm making the leap that the bank has an iSeries and is expecting a direct FTP from your QSYS.lib library to theirs. If that's so, and they can decrypt them, they must know where you can obtain such a product.

There is a cryptographic product in OS/400 (option 35 of 5722-SS1), but it sounds like the bank is being very specific.

I would like to transmit files to M&T Bank using FTP and like most banks
they require PGP encryption.



Does anyone know of a way to do PGP encryption on the AS/400 for FREE or
with only minimal costs?



I'm well aware of companies such as Trailblazer, Patrick Townsend, and
Linoma that offer packages for the AS400 but they charge $10,000 for
software and $1800 a year in licensing fees.



That's hard to sell when dial-up transmissions are free.



I've looked into JAVA based solutions also but have not had any luck there
either.



Any input would be appreciated .
