"And FTP client on the IBM i is easily scripted."

And therein lies the rub Brad. Your solution, among many others would work just fine, but the scripts are already in place - and in the case of the blog site not fully controlled by me.

I'm just looking for another FTP site really - I'm aware of the myriad other options, and one day may use them - but I need a quick, simple FTP replacement right now.

I back up all must stuff (including IBM i libraries) to Google Drive and MS

I wanted it to do it automatically which is why I created apps on the IBM i
to do it (G4G and G4MS). Each as an addon to upload files, download files,
etc from Google Drive or OneDrive. (The One Drive app will be updated
later this year to work with Office 365.. MS and their APIs are up iin the
air and total junk right now with no consistency).

Works slick. I know if it's successful or not, and I can use either a Job
Sceduled Entry or any other method to schedule everything to run while I'm
getting some zzzs.

You could also do this easily by sending your backups to a PC folder that
is monitored by Google Drive or MS Onedrive. FTP servers are easy to find
and, well, free. And FTP client on the IBM i is easily scripted.

For some time now we have been using ADrive.com <http://adrive.com/> as a
simple and cost-effective off-site backup that we can use for our regular
IBM i backups as well as the backups from our Wordpress blog site. Lately
ADrive have been getting less and less reliable and backups have been
failing. Today their site is all but off-line completely.

So - I'm looking for an alternative site.

To simplify the switch it has to be FTP capable - via scripting.

Anyone got any recommendations?
