FTPS
The HMC supports secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP) operations using the FTPS (FTP with SSL) protocol. To allow a secure connection to an FTPS server, the server's certificate must be imported to the HMC using the Certificate Management task. With the addition of FTPS support, the HMC tasks now support three FTP protocols: plain FTP, FTPS (FTP with SSL), and SFTP (SSH based FTP).
The following tasks now have options to use any of the three supported protocols:
- Advanced Facilities (SE) / OSA Advanced Facilities (HMC) → Export Adapter Diagnostics Data
