FTP protocol with encryption

[Reginald Hill]

Is it possible in TES 6.21 to have an FTP protocol with encryption when using FTP job definition?

I need to use FTP with implicit FTP over TLS.

In theory this is what the FTPS option in the FTP  job  definition should do. However we're having trouble getting it to work. Got a case open on the subject as we speak so will update if we get a resolution.

The docs state you need to add a couple of options to the agent config file:

SSLVLDCRT=Y
SSLVLDHST=/location/of/your/certificate/VeriSign-whatever.crt

Note that there seems to be an issue having the same agent do SFTP and FTPS at the same time.

You may need separate instances if you use both types of file transfer.

when it comes to ftp connections utilizing encryption, I bypass the adapter entirely and use a linux bash script.  it's easier to configure, and more options.
