Hello Roger,

Yes, we are still in need of an FTPS Server for OpenVMS that runs
under HP's TCPIP stack and uses HP openSSL library. We need a server
not a client. For the client side I have found: KERMIT and CURL. My
company may be willing to let me port one of the open source FTPs
servers to OpenVMS; we have considered one of the following: vsftpd -
used on red hat linux, PureFtp, or ProFTPd. Before we do this I have
several questions:

Here's one for you first: what is an FTPS server? Do you mean SFTP (Secure
FTP), i.e. a file transfer protocol running over an SSH session? Assuming
you really mean SFTP ...


This was dealt with earlier see for instance

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.vms/msg/a8fd87f021f0377f

FTPS and SFTP are not the same thing.

1. Is OpenVMS engineering working on an FTPs server? I don't want to
take on a possibly many month project if someone is already working on
it.

SSH, SFTP, etc are available as part of TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS (I think).

2. Is there anyone out there needing an FTPS server who might want to
share development effort. I would do the majority of the work, but it
might be nice to have some help.

Another commercial SSH/SFTP pacakge is "SSH for OpenVMS" from Process
Software LLC. It's a VMS port of the F-Secure SSH package. You can find
out more about it from http://www.process.com/tcpip/ssh.html

If you don't mean SFTP then I'm afraid I can't help any further.

Regards,

Jeremy Begg
