GoAnywhere

Just a heads up. I was way behind on GoAnywhere (5.6.5). I am in the process of upgrading. Back on 2020-10-02 I got into my software and ran Help, Check for updates. It was really nice and told me that I would have to stair step upgrade to 6.0.4 and then to what's current. I didn't proceed right away. I wanted to talk to my teammates. Now I was ready. Somewhere in that time period they must have updated their website because now the Check for Updates will not connect. I suspect newer ciphers based on some evidence. I had to go around the horn and download the 6.0.4 upgrade. I put that on and got that upgraded. So far so good. However, it will still not connect to their site. They did tell me that others are experiencing this issue. I am going to upgrade to the latest on Thursday 2020-10-15 and see if that has new enough ciphers that it can check for updates. :)
I did a special ssl trap they requested and they are looking at that.

GoAnywhere does NOT tie itself to any IBM i supplied ciphers and supplies their own. So unlike a good contributor to this list who lamented that his software wouldn't talk to many partners because 7.1 didn't support newer ciphers it was not a problem for GoAnywhere since they supplied their own.
Ps: I'm running on IBM i 7.4.
