Hi,

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

See the last sentence in my above post and the ".rhosts" case!
"smitty inetdconf", choose "Remove an inetd Subserver", select "ftp" and go!

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?
