TLSMECHANISM (FTP client and server) statement

Use the TLSMECHANISM statement to specify whether TLS is implemented by AT-TLS or by FTP. AT-TLS is the preferred method for implementing TLS.

Server
This setting specifies how TLS security is implemented on the server host. This statement is valid for FTP servers if EXTENSIONS AUTH_TLS is specified.
Client
This setting specifies how TLS security is implemented on the client host. This statement is valid for FTP clients if SECURE_MECHANISM TLS or SECURE_MECHANISM SSL is specified.
