In order to use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to secure your File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) server, you need to complete the configuration steps first.
Perform the following steps to enable SSl on the FTP server:
- In iSeries™ Navigator,
expand .
- Right-click FTP.
- Select Properties.
- Select the General tab.
- Choose one of these options for SSL support:
- Secure only
Select this to allow only SSL sessions
with the FTP server. Connections can be made to the non-secure FTP port, but
the FTP client must negotiate an SSL session before the user is allowed to
log in.
- Non-secure only
Select this to prohibit secure
sessions with the FTP server. Attempts to connect to an SSL port will not
connect.
- Both secure and non-secure
Allows both secure
and non-secure sessions with the FTP server.
Note: You do not need to restart the FTP server. It will dynamically
detect that a certificate has been assigned to it. If it does not dynamically
detect this change, verify that you have the latest PTFs applied to your iSeries server.
