    Hello Everyone,

    We are in the process of implementing IBM Secure File Transfer Premium Edition within a Bank.  The CISO has raised a query with us on "Why Ports are to be opened Bi-Directional for the implementation of the platform.  This is part of their security checks and validations.

    Is there a certified document published by IBM on "Why Ports needs to be opened Bi-directional" please share, this is urgent for us to progress the implementation.

    Thank you, Joseph

    Find out which ports are being enabled. 

    1. The SQL Query below will list the Ports used by Adapters that are Enabled :

    select distinct si.SERVICE_NAME, si.DISPLAY_NAME, si.DESCRIPTION, sp.NAME, sp.VALUE from SERVICE_INSTANCE si, SERVICE_INST_PARMS sp
    where si.SERVICE_ID= sp.SERVICE_ID
    and sp.NAME like '%Port%'
    and si.SERVICE_ID in (select SERVICE_ID from SERVICE_INSTANCE where ACTIVE_STATUS= 1)
    order by 1 asc

    1. You can find a number of ports defined in the sandbox.cfg file located in the /properties directory:

    Than you Mini Mehta for the reply.  The query raised is about "Why Bidirectional Ports are required to be Open" in IBM Secure File Transfer Premium Edition
