I've done some small testing of the Arpeggio SFTP client software (I don't think they have server software), it works well and does just what it says (retries, error detection, etc), And they have FREE TRIAL - which is a MUST for us; I've got to know that it'll work before I pay good money.

We use the Arpeggio Sift-It FTP software to process inbound zips: a client will send us a zip file via regular FTP or sFTP (depending on the client); when the zip arrives, we have a sift-it task setup to call a batch program to process and import the files in the zip archive - keeping that portion of client data as up-to-the-minute as we can.

Works very well for us, and from what I can tell it does a whole lot more than what we use it for.

Subject: commercial solution for iSeries FTP

My boss is searching for a commercial product we can use to manage our FTP Primary requirements are:

* iSeries friendly
*supports detail FTP error detection: for example we want to know if the connection
is successful and be able to re-try/re-schedule if not *supports 'standard' FTP: the main site we send/receive with does not use SFTP

We have Arpeggio on our list: but it seems exclusively for SFTP ?

We also have Linoma Software on our list: any comments ?
