Re: Replacing FTP PC client scripts to SFTP to put PC file to a i5 library.

Paul,

OpenSSH (the software package that IBM provides to act as a client/server for SSH, SCP and SFTP) is a Unix program. It is written for Unix and runs in PASE.

It has no notion of a "library" (which is a bizarre concept that doesn't exist on other systems, including Unix.) It does not know anything about physical files.

So, I would suggest that you transfer your data to the IFS, and then if you really need it in a PF, use something like CPYFRMIMPF or CPYFRMSTMF to convert it to a PF.

I need to replace all our FTP PC client scripts to SFTP.
I'm testing with WINSCP.
SFTP script is working, but only to IFS.
1) I'm struggling to find the option so the file will be sent to a library.
Cd /pauls - result in IFS
Cld - invalid command

2) I would also like to show the SFTP transfer as FTP did.
The person running the script can confirm if the file was sent successfully.

SENDCABLE.bat
WinSCP.exe /script=SENDBRC.scp /log=SENDBRCLOG /ini=nul
pause

SNDBRC.scp
open sftp://user:password@hostname/ -hostkey=*
cd /pauls
put -transfer=ascii c:\lockbox\brc\lkbpcs.lkb

Any thoughts from the group.
I will be evaluating other script options.

Thank You
