Re: SFTP Script Spawn not found

[James Perkins <jrperkinsjr@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
