Understanding and Exploiting Qshell on IBM i

Qshell's Unix-like interface to the iSeries is especially helpful for developing in Java and for working with the IFS.

Written by Ted Holt and Fred A. Kulack

NEW FEATURED WEBCAST

Beyond FTP, Securing and Automating File Transfers

Standard FTP is an outdated protocol with serious security issues that can expose your sensitive data, user ids and passwords. Many organizations are rapidly moving away from standard FTP in order to meet privacy policies and compliance requirements like PCI DSS, SOX and HIPAA.

Join us in this free webinar and learn about secure alternatives to FTP that will protect your data transfers with strong encryption and modern authentication methods.

We'll also give you a quick tour of our GoAnywhere Director managed file transfer solution, with its simple intuitive interface that allows you to quickly set up and automate secure file transfers without the need for scripts or programming.
