RE: SFTP Script Spawn not found

["Chris Bipes" <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You cannot log on from a 5250 terminal session to a remote SSH server
without some tweaking.  This has been posted in the past.  Search the
archives for SSH.

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.

Hmmm...  In that case, I'm not sure what's going on.  If I think of 
anything, I'll let you know.  If you figure it out, please let me know.
