Note 1:
To establish a connection using SSH or SFTP you need to
have a valid server address, and you must connect through port 22.
Note 2:
If SFTP or SCP is not available, File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
can be used. Invoke the CLI command ftpenable to access FTP; and
invoke the CLI command ftpdisable to close FTP. The ftpenable
command opens a timed window that closes after 5 minutes of inactivity.
The patch folder is the only folder that is visible if FTP is chosen.
Patch: This category of patch changes program behavior for a period
of time. You can use it for such things as fixing bugs or for diagnostic
purposes. In some instances, you can apply this category of patch
without a program restart.
Service Update: A service update (SU) is a cumulative update of
patches. A service update is a full application Red Hat Package
Manager (RPM) package distribution that contains all patches that you
apply to a specific application, and replaces previous service updates.
