Introduction
SECTCP (Secured TCP) is a System i free utility that may be used to control and restrain access to the following TCP servers:
  1. FTP
  2. TELNET

SECTCP adds an extra protection layer between a firewall (if you have one) and the OS/400 security. This extra layer is much more flexible than any firewall and can be easily controlled and changed as needed. Changes to SECTCP settings do not require restarting the FTP or the TELNET server.

Prerequisites
  • Operating system release V5R2 or subsequent
  • ILE-RPG compiler
 
About WSECTCP
 

If you are currently running SECTCP and you are willing to host a CGI application on an HTTP instance, then you may install a WEB interface for SECTCP.

Its name is WSECTCP.
This WEB interface makes SECTCP so easy that you would never go back to a 5250 session.
Go to the download page and install WSECTCP today.
