[cabfpub] SFTP Port Removal ballot draft

[Gervase Markham]

Hi everyone,

Here's a draft of the ballot to remove the SFTP port from Authorized
Ports, as it appears that it's present due to a misunderstanding. Does
it look OK? Can I get two endorsers?

Gerv

*Ballot XXX - SFTP Port Removal
*

*Purpose of Ballot: *It was reported to the CAB Forum Public Mailing
List that:

"Port 115 appears to be on this list [of authorized ports] in error,
because this port number was assigned to an Internet protocol "Simple
File Transfer Protocol"

that never saw widespread use, it is not the correct port for the SFTP
(SSH File Transfer Protocol) SSH subsystem of the SSH protocol which,
like SSH itself, uses well-known port 22."

Accordingly, this ballot removes that port from the list.

-- MOTION BEGINS --

section 1.6.1 of the Baseline Requirements:

"115 (sftp), "
