IBM FTP Adapter manual SSL Encryption Strength -STR, SSL Protocol -SPROTO, Stage -STG or -STAGE

Chapter 3 - FTP Commands List of Commands

SSL Encryption Strength (-STR)

The SSL Encryption Strength (-STR) command can be either WEAK (only use weak algorithms) or STRONG (only use strong algorithms). If not specified, any available algorithm is used (if STRONG is not available then WEAK is used). If the export version of the libraries is used, only weak algorithms are available and this command is ignored.

-STR {WEAKSTRONGANY}

Option	Description
STRONG	Use strong (non-exportable) encryption only.
WEAK	Use exportable encryption only.
ANY	Use any available encryption.

SSL Protocol (-SPROTO)

Use the SSL Protocol adapter command (-SPROTO) to set the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol level. SSL enables the adapter to process FTPS URLs. If -SPROTO is not specified, the SSL Protocol defaults to SSLv23.

-SPROTO {SSLv2SSLv3SSLv23TLSv1}

Option	Description
SSLv2	Specify SSL protocol version 2.
SSLv3	Specify SSL protocol version 3.
SSLv23	Specify SSL protocol version 2 or version 3.
TLSv1	Specify Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol version 1.

Stage (-STG or -STAGE)

Use the Stage adapter command (-STGor -STAGE) to accomplish the following:

♦To specify that uploaded data should be staged in a temporary or shadow file.

♦To prevent partial updates of a file to be transferred. This is especially important if the FTP server processes uploads in an automated fashion.
