Hi Mark,

Personally, I find FTP over SSL to be a major headache, because NAT routers are ubiquitous these days, and FTP over SSL really doesn't work though a NAT router. Maybe when IPv6 gains critical mass this will change, but for now, I find FTP over SSL to be a major headache.

SFTP (FTP interface to SSH) is much, much easier to set up and get working over a network. It's also much more widely supported. In many ways it's more versatile, and easier to write proper scripts that use it.

It does run in a Unix environment on i, and that does introduce a learning curve to people who are not familiar with that environment. I feel your pain, brother... but there are certainly advantages to SSH.

Thanks Scott, looks like a LOT of work for us geting the additional PASE

posted.

This would have been SOOOOOOO easy if it was FTP over a true FTP with SSL
connection rather than this SFTP/SSH crap...
