How to replace FTP by secureFTP on AIX

Hi,

I have never used aix before, but my boss asked me to replace FTP by secureFTP.

I don't know where to start, can you please help me?

What exactly do you mean with secureFTP?

AIX comes with openSSH. If you installed it (it's on the Installation DVD) then you have sftp (file transfer over SSH)  already in place.

AIX's FTP is configurable to run over TLS/SSL (FTPS). It's a bit complicated, but feasible.

Or are you talking about a third-party product? If so, which one do you have in mind? vsftpd?

how do i disable the regular ftp daemon?
See the last sentence in my above post and the ".rhosts" case!

"smitty inetdconf", choose "Remove an inetd Subserver", select "ftp" and go!
