FTP Reccomendations

Good morning,

 

I have a customer needing to FTP files on a regular basis to a large
financial institution from their iSeries V5R2.    I was given many
connection options.   One is dial in Bisync which I know I can get up
and running.   

 

Another option is SFTP:

 

SSHFTP (a.k.a SFTP):

*        SFTP client/server must be compatible with OpenSSH 

*        Xxxxxxx or customer can initiate (prefer site that creates data
to initiate transfer) 

 

Other options include:

 

SecureFTP (a.k.a FTPS), HTTPS, FTP with PGP, FTP over VPN, AS2.....

 

Is our version of SFTP compatible with OpenSSH?   Do I need any third
party software to do this?  How involved/difficult is the setup on
something like this?  All opinions welcome.
