Valid Values

Blowfish

DES

3DES

AES

ARCFOUR

Default

Based on the Encryption Algorithm parameter defined in the connection profile.

Variable Name

%%FTP-ENCRYPTIONxy

Note: x is either 1 or 2 and indicates the z/OS host (1 refers to the host defined on the left side of the Connection Profile Details dialog box, and 2 refers to the host defined on the right side of the Connection Profile Details dialog box).

y indicates a value between 1-5, according to the sequential transfer number

For example, when performing a file transfer from one z/OS host to another z/OS host, the variable:

%%FTP-ENCRYPTION21

contains the encryption value to set for the connection to the z/OS host defined on the right side of the Connection Profile Details dialog box, in the first file transfer.
