You can download products and download solutions from Broadcom Support using HTTPS or Secure FTP (FTPS or SFTP).
To optimize Broadcom Support downloads, configure the downloads.broadcom.com URL for HTTPS and ftp.broadcom.com URL for Secure FTP (FTPS or SFTP) in your network security software, firewalls, or both.
When access from locations outside Broadcom is managed by IP address, use the following options:
| Server Name | IP Address |
| ftp.broadcom.com | 141.202.253.50 |
| downloads.broadcom.com | 141.202.253.110 |
The following download options are available:
- HTTPS via Browser method
- Secure FTP (FTPS or SFTP) method
Note: We recommend FileZilla or WinSCP for FTPS and SFTP downloads.
Note the following supported download options:
- FTPS (CARS HOLDDATA)
- FTPS (Solutions and Products)
- FTPS (Standard FTP for HOLD and ASSIGN)
- SFTP (Security and Integrity Fixes)
- SFTP (Solutions and Products)
- SFTP (support case)
- Standard FTP (support case) PDS and terse
- Standard FTP (support case) simple
- Standard FTP (support case) terse

HTTPS via Browser Method
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) uses web browser protocol with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt the connection. The HTTPS download URL for products and solutions is: downloads.broadcom.com.
After you download the file to a PC, you can use these sample FTP commands to upload to the mainframe:
ftp mainframe
your_broadcom_support_email
your_broadcom_support_pwsd
bin
lcd C:\paxfolder
cd /ussdirectory/
put paxfile
quit
exit
- mainframe: z/OS system IP address or DNS name.
- your_broadcom_support_email
- your_broadcom_support_pwsd
- paxfolder: Location of the pax file on your PC.
- ussdirectory: Name of the USS directory that you use for downloads.
- paxfile: Name of the pax file to upload (for example, myfile.pax.Z).
Secure FTP (FTPS or SFTP) Method
To add a layer of security to FTP communications, use FTPS (File Transfer Protocol Secure, also called FTPES) or SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol). For both methods, you must also configure a server certificate.
- FTPS
FTPS is an FTP extension that uses SSL or TLS for encryption. Like FTP, FTPS uses a control channel and a data channel. Before any login details are presented to protect the authentication, establish an encrypted (explicit) control change. TLS 1.2 and 1.3 are supported. - SFTP
SFTP uses Secure Shell (SSH) protocol on a single channel to encrypt authentication and data packets as they are being transferred. Unlike FTP, SFTP encrypts the session, including password, user ID, commands, and data.
To use the secured SFTP features, the transfer must take place using UNIX System Services (USS) where the SSH protocol is available. This requirement means that you must first copy the files to be transferred to the USS file system before you can transfer them using SFTP.
Note: You may also need to adjust USS security so that you can create directories and files within the USS file system. You can use the same host for FTP and SFTP.
Configure the Server Certificate
A Digicert Certificate Authority (CA) certificate is required to acquire solutions and process maintenance requests through the supportftp.broadcom.com server. FTP with SSL uses password authentication. A user certificate is not required.
Download, upload, and configure z/OS security to access supportftp.broadcom.com using FTP with SSL:
1. Download the Digicert Intermediate Broadcom certificate:
https://ftpdocs.broadcom.com/cadocs/0/certs/digi-inter-new/digicert_intermediate_2031.crt
2. Upload the certificates to your z/OS system in ASCII format to a variable blocked RECFM=VB sequential data set. For example:
ASCII
QUOTE SITE WRAP LRECL=84 RECFM=VB
PUT cert_file_name 'your.zos.dataset.name' (REPLACE
quit
3. Add both Digicert Broadcom certificates to the security database:
- For ACF2, specify:
SET PROFILE(USER) DIV(CERTDATA)
INSERT CERTAUTH.yourcertname -
DSN(‘dataset.name.with.certificate’) LABEL(yourlabelname) TRUST
- For Top Secret, specify:
TSS ADD(CERTAUTH) DIGICERT(‘yourcertname’) -LABLCERT(‘yourlabelname’) -
DCDSN(‘dataset.name.with.certificate’) TRUST
- For IBM RACF, specify:
RACDCERT CERTAUTH ADD(‘dataset.name.with.certificate’) WITHLABEL(‘yourlabelname’) TRUST
4. Grant UPDATE access to the IBMFAC(IRR.DIGTCERT.LISTRING) to the user ID submitting the FTP JCL:
- For ACF2, specify:
$KEY(IRR.DIGTCERT.LISTRING) TYPE(FAC) UID(userid) SERVICE(UPDATE) ALLOW
- For Top Secret, specify:
TSS PER(userid) IBMFAC(IRR.DIGTCERT.LISTRING) ACC(UPDATE)
- For IBM RACF, specify:
PERMIT IRR.DIGTCERT.LISTRING ClASS(FACILITY) ID(userid) ACCESS(UPDATE)
The user that submits the secure FTP JCL can use a virtual CERTAUTH keyring to authenticate the FTP server. The certificate does not need to be added to the keyring of the FTP user.
Sample HTTPS via Browser Method Download from the Broadcom Support Portal
To download products or solutions that were selected from My Downloads on the Broadcom Support portal:
- Sign in to the secure FTP server using your Broadcom Support credentials (your_broadcom_support_email and your_broadcom_support_password). The hostname is downloads.broadcom.com. A list of order directories is available in the root directory.
- To find the PAX file or solution number, hover over the order number. The full pathname is not required.
- Specify the file name in the JCL. For example, LU14906.BIN or productid.VnnRn.ZOSMF.pax.Z.

Customize FTPS and SFTP JCL
Make a copy of the sample JCL and customize as follows:
- Add a JOB statement per your site standards.
- If TLS 1.3 is supported, replace TLSV1_2 with TLSV1_3.
- Update KEYRING to contain the certificate that is used for the Broadcom FTP server. Specify the name for ACF2, Top Secret, or RACF real or virtual keyring: userid/keyRingName.
To use the CERTAUTH virtual keyring, specify *AUTH*/*. - Replace your_broadcom_support_email and your_broadcom_support_password (SET PASSFL) with your valid login credentials.
- Complete the remaining fields using the values that are provided in File Download Specifications. For a list of available files and folder information, see File Download Specifications in the next section.
- Save the JCL and submit for execution.
A return code of zero is expected. Any other value indicates the job execution was unsuccessful.

Sample FTP and SFTP JCL Zip File
For mainframe software only, sample JCL is provided in this zip file for FTPS, SFTP, and standard FTP processing. Use this link to access the sample JCL: Sample_FTP_FTPS_and_SFTP_JCL.zip. These sample jobs are designed to use explicit secure FTP with TLS AUTH (FTPS or FTPES) through control port 21 and a data port in the range 28000-28500 or port 22 (the default port for SFTP). Or, they can run without special security using the standard FTP ports (21/20). The USESEC variable determines whether secured FTP is used (set to 1) or standard, unsecured FTP is used (set to 0).
- FTPS (CARS HOLDDATA)
Use this JCL sample to download the CARS HOLDDATA file in TXT format from the Broadcom secure FTP server (ftp.broadcom.com). - FTPS (Solutions and Products)
Use this JCL sample to download solution and product package files from the Broadcom directory that is specified in the order details. - FTPS (Standard FTP for HOLD and ASSIGN)
Use this JCL sample to assign CARS and HIPER source IDs to PTF solutions in bulk or to download the most current ERROR and FIXCAT HOLDDATA details. You can use the same JCL with minor changes to retrieve the HOLDDATA and ASSIGN statements at the same time. - SFTP (Security and Integrity Fixes)
Use this JCL sample to download a consolidated list of security advisories affecting Broadcom mainframe products from the Broadcom secure FTP server (ftp.broadcom.com). - SFTP (Solutions and Products)
Use this JCL sample to download solution and product package files from the Broadcom directory that is specified in the order details. This job uses SSH SFTP. - SFTP (support case)
Use this JCL to transfer files between the Broadcom case files directory (files_from_customer directory on supportftp.broadcom.com) and a z/OS OMVS (or USS) filesystem. - Standard FTP (support case) PDS and terse
Use this JCL to upload tersed z/OS partitioned data sets (PDS or PDSE) to the files_from_customer directory on supportftp.broadcom.com. - Standard FTP (support case) simple
Use this JCL to upload a standard (simple) physical sequential file in ASCII or binary mode to the files_from_customer directory on supportftp.broadcom.com. - Standard FTP (support case) terse
Use this JCL to terse and upload z/OS files to the files_from_customer directory on supportftp.broadcom.com. These files include unprintable data or large physical sequential files.
