Troubleshooting


Problem

System i FTP client attempting to connect with FTP/SSL fails immediately with error message TCP3D2C rc-95.

Resolving The Problem

When attempting to initiate a FTP/SSL connection to another System i FTP/SSL server, the control
connection fails immediately with an error message TCP3D2C:

Message . . . . . :Secure connection error, return code -95

Value Description                                                
----- ------------------------------------
-95   No keyring file was specified.

Upon review of the FTP client configuration using Digital Certificate Manager (DCM), it was found the client
was never configured. The *SYSTEM store did not exist. After creating the *SYSTEM store and following
the steps outlined in this tech doc New SSL FTP Client Configuration, the connection was successfully
established.
