Re: SFTP Script Spawn not found

Thanks Chris. You actually can log-in to an SSH server from PASE, you
just can do SFTP and SCP as far as I know.

Anyway, I did login to our IBM i via SSH, then made an SFTP connection
to the SSH server I was trying to connect to. That was successful. I
also installed the script on our development box and the script worked
fine there too.

I don't think they will take our SSH key, but I will ask them.
Obviously that would solve my connection problem, but doesn't explain
why spawn cannot be found.

Thanks for your input.

You cannot log on from a 5250 terminal session to a remote SSH server

Now if you use a SSH client to connect to your iSeries via SSH, then you
can SSH onward.  Oh and SFTP basically opens up a SSH terminal session
to log you on via user id and password.

But if you have already accepted their host key and added to your known
host file, you can generate a RSA key and ship to them.  They can add to
their authorized key file for their server or in an authorized key file
in your logon root under a directory called .ssh  (Yes it needs to be
lower case and have the period.

You then can connect using key exchange instead of password.
