Preventing the File Transfer Protocol server from starting automatically

One way to secure your File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is to prevent the FTP server from starting automatically.

To prevent FTP server jobs from starting automatically when you start TCP/IP, follow these steps:
  1. In System i® Navigator, expand your system > Network > Servers > TCP/IP.
  2. Right-click FTP and select Properties.
  3. Deselect Start when TCP/IP starts.
