Project and Program: Communications Server

Tags: Proceedings, SHARE Orlando 2026, 2026

This presentation compares traditional FTP and FTP over OpenSSH for file transfer on IBM z/OS Communications Server. While FTP is widely used, FTP over OpenSSH provides an alternative method that leverages the security features of the SSH protocol. We will examine the key differences between the two methods, including security, performance, and ease of use. Attendees will learn best practices for managing FTP and FTP over OpenSSH on z/OS, enabling them to make informed decisions about the most appropriate file transfer method for their requirements.
