1. Secure FTP
To enable SECTCP defenses for FTP, program entries must be added to two specific exit points, QIBM_QTMF_SERVER_REQ and QIBM_QTMF_SERVER_LOG.
This is done by
  • selecting Option 1 (Secure FTP) from the initial SECTCP Menu (see Figure 1), then
  • selecting Option 1 (Add FTP exit programs) from the "Secure FTP" Menu (Figure 2).

... just press Enter and you are done.

Make then sure to restart the FTP server:
- endtcpsvr *FTP
- strtcpsvr *FTP

2. Quick start
At the beginning, before defining in detail the FTP settings you would like to work with, it is a good practice to take some defaults and verify that FTP is still working.
Do the following:
  1. Take option 4 (Work with allowed directories), then option 1 (Public allowed directories) and define as allowed directory the root directory /
  2. Take option 5 (Work with IP addresses), then option 1 (Work with Allowed IP Addresses) and and make sure that there are no entries
  3. Take option 5 (Work with IP addresses), then option 2 (Work with Privileged IP Addresses), and define as privileged the generic IP address of your IBM i LAN (example: 195.126.) where local workstations are connected.
  4. Take option 5 (Work with IP addresses), then option 3 (Work with Excluded IP Addresses), and add the IP address entry *ANY
  5. Take option 6 (Active Defense), then option 1 (Define your Active Defense strategy) and make sure that Enable your defense is set to N
  6. Take option 7 (Start Logging)
Once this is done,
  • Perform some local FTP activities (local workstations connecting to the local IBM i): all connections should work, provided that appropriate user profiles/passewords are used to login.
  • Try to FTP login to your local IBM i from an outside workstation: FTP logging should be denied.
  • Then use option 9 (Display log) to display the FTP log for the current day.
