Hi Mark,

FTP is a standard internet protocol for file transfer. It's not secure, however, so should only be used in a trusted environment. People have tried to improve it's security by adding SSL support, so you have FTP over SSL. This is sometimes called "Secure FTP", and it's sometimes called "FTPS" (especially in URLs, ftps://server.com/dir/file.ext). It is not the same thing as SFTP.

SFTP is not FTP at all. It is an FTP-like user interface to the SSH protocol. That's why you seee "SSH-2.0-1.36" in your log. Because you are connecting to an SSH server, not an FTP server!

The simple fact is, your FTP client is NOT going to work. It doesn't understand the SSH protocol. You need an SSH client.

IBM provides a (free) port of OpenSSH, which is the most popular SSH client in the world. It's provided with the free licpgm, 5733-SC1. But it does run in PASE.

I've written a bunch of articles on this stuff. Let me know if you'd like me to post links.

We can't seem to get it working and my secureftp knowledge is limited and
their "i5" skills are none existent. They are saying that the user name and
password from the clients they have "automagically" get passed but that the
limit of their technical details. Screen shot below on what happens below
what I am using for the Connection:

FTP RMTSYS(EXTERNALFTP.XXXXXXX.COM) PORT(13266) SECCNN(*SSL)

Connecting to host EXTERNALFTP.XXXXXXX.COM at address 2xx.xx8.xxx.xxx using
port 13266.
SSH-2.0-1.36 sshlib: GlobalScape ---> this is where the "Vendor" says it
is hanging up.

Is there some "simple" piece I am missing on the FTP command line or another
"vital" piece I am blank about?
