How to Install FTPS module in IBM HTTP Server

  • 1.  How to Install FTPS module in IBM HTTP Server

    Posted Wed October 21, 2020 06:29 AM
    Hi All,

    We have a J2EE app running in WebSphere Application Server, that will connect to a public FTP server via FTPS to download files. We use the WAS's web plugin, and connect to IBM HTTP Server as client facing interface. Problem is the IHS does not support FTP/FTPS module by default. Is there a complete FTP module that is ready to compile and be used by IHS?

    Hope anyone can help with the problem. Thank you very much for the time!


    Best regards,

    Senen

    Hi,

    There is no official support for SFTP for IHS (based on Apache), but you can get around this by using FTP with TLS to secure the communication. Please find below a link to the documented procedure : 

    https://httpd.apache.org/mod_ftp/ftp/ftp_tls.html

    Note : The documentation is for Apache 2.4, so please check the version of apache used by your IHS version.

    Good Luck

    Best regards,
