Re: IBM i as an sFTP Client

That's true in general for most SSH clients and servers although the authentication methods used/allowed can be restricted in the config files. Some servers only allow keys, some userid/passwords and some only interactive passwords etc. The IBM port of openSSH however doesn't allow for passwords in either batch mode or interactive - only because it doesn't recognize stdin as a tty (which it's not strictly speaking). It would have been straightforward to add a couple of lines for an exception but they didn't.

uses SSH not SSL ). I don't need expect or any other tools or processes.
Using some windows programs to non-iSeries servers, if I remember
correctly, you don't need to pre-share the keys etc and you get a transfer
to work with just a ID and PWD.

If you want to skip PASE and EXPECT you can get a native sftp client
from Arpeggio Software. It's FREE. It does user id/password as well as
key based authentications and your passwords and keys are stored
securely in its own key manager. It's fully script-able using CL
commands. It also supports db files directly without having to copy to IFS.
