Re: SFTP Initial Setup

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Addtionally particularly with PASE, SC1, and the QShell (I neglected 
that one earlier)  once you install, reapply the current 
groups/cumulative fixes.  You should need to IPL, but if you might need 
to to get them all applied.  DSPPTF can tell you if you need an IPL or not.

However, I did GO LICPGM and used "option 10. Display installed licensed programs" but I do not see any of these two licensed programs.  I read that this is part of the operating system.  Is this correct?
