General
Use this panel to define the FTP client configuration file location by specifying a member name and
to indicate if the client should use a security protocol to provide
data privacy and integrity as well as login authentication.
Before you begin you should:
- Decide a unique member name for the FTP client you are creating.
During the update phase of msys, an FTP client configuration file is created as a member of a
partitioned data set extended (PDSE). Other configuration files, such as for PROFILE.TCPIP, TCPIP.DATA, and FTP servers
are also be created as members in the same PDSE.
The name of the PDSE was assigned in the Basic Settings task.
- Decide whether the client should use either the Transport Layer Security ( TLS ) protocol,
which includes Secure Sockets Layer (SSL),
or the Kerberos security protocol to provide secure connections to the server.
Steps
- Enter the client configuration file member name.
- Set the security settings. If the client should use a security protocol:
- Select "Yes. Select the security mechanism:"
- Select which security protocol the client should. Choose either the Transport Layer Security ( "TLS" ) protocol,
which includes Secure Sockets Layer (SSL),
or the "Kerberos (GSSAPI)" security protocol.
You have completed this panel after you have entered the member name and selected your security choice.
If you choose to use security, click the "Security Settings..." button to customize your security settings.
