Hi,
We are trying to transfer file from our WMB zLinux server to mainframe z/OS ftp server.
mainframe requires secure FTP to connect,when I use plain ftp from WMB flow it gives below error (security profile Id is created with mainframe id/password and used in fileOutput node ).
It gives a response :.534.Server.requires.authentication.before.USER.co
mmand
Please let me know how to make an FTPS call from WMB v8.
Thanks in advance.

Have you verified with your zOS team that you need to use ftpS? Maybe you need to do something else.
Have you reviewed the documentation that comes with the FileInput node to see what capabilities the FTP connections it supports has? |

Hi Jeff,
Yes,It is confirmed with z/OS team to use FTPS - FTP over SSL/TLS.
They have given documentation to install the client which is
Ipswitch WS_FTP Professional (Client).
Our zLinux Admin for WMB brokers seems to be aware of this and getting it installed.
I dont see any WMB support in the File nodes It mentions FTP & SFTP as options.
Do we have any plugin available for this?

As far as I know, there is no native support for FTPS with IIB File nodes.
You should really address this with your zOS admins. Possibly they can support SFTP instead.
The solution in the article you posted uses Java to perform the FTPS connection. This should be considered a workaround.
You might also verify the support for FTPS in later releases/FP of IIB. |

FTPS is set up as standard for connectivity in mainframe servers so there cannot be sftp at this stage in z/OS.
There is no FTPS support in IIB 9.
So we will create a demo POC with custom FTP Java code and look at this option.
(I am not sure at this stage how it works as the link provided only some site commands and not the FTPS using SSL/TLS).
