Not entirely true. One site I send data to requires username and password. This was an option selected by this site. Added security. Required an expect
script to get it to work in batch (Thanks Scott!).

Quoting Glenn Birnbaum <gbirnba@xxxxxxx>:

Another interesting distinction between SFTP and FTP with SSL is that
the SFTP (SSH) solution does not require a password to authenticate.
Instead, a one time key generation is performed between systems and
there is no need to worry about a password or changing a password for
security reasons.

I consider that one advantage that SFTP(SSH) has over the native FTP.

We use both solutions and both work well.

Subject: Re: What is the different between SFTP ad FTP over SSL

SFTP = Not really FTP, but an FTP-like user interface over the SSH
protocol. IBM does not provide native support, but does provide the
OpenSSH package in PASE, which works well.

FTP over SSL: The standard FTP protocol with SSL encryption added.
This is notoriously difficult to get working through NAT, and even
sometimes hard through a straight firewall. But has native support in
IBM i.

This has been discussed quite a few times on Midrange-L. Searching the
archives should give you a lot of information.
