The ${it c}$-axis transport properties of a high-pressure synthesized PrFeAsO$$_{0.7}$$ single crystal are studied using s-shaped junctions. Resistivity anisotropy of about 120 detected at 50 K shows the presence of strong anisotropy in the electronic states. The obtained critical current density for the ${it c}$-axis of 2.9 $$times$$ 10$$^{5}$$ A/cm$$^{2}$$ is two orders of magnitude larger than that in Bi$$_{2}$$Sr$$_{1.6}$$La$$_{0.4}$$CuO$$_{6+delta}$$. The appearance of a hysteresis in the current-voltage curve below ${it T}$ $$_{c}$$ is the manifestation of the intrinsic Josephson effect similar to that in cuprate superconductors. The suppression of the critical current-normal resistance (${it I}$ $$_{c}$$ ${it R}$ $$_{n}$$) product is explained by an inspecular transport in ${it s}$ $$_{pm}$$ -wave pair potential.
