RE: ssh configuration for sftp execution

Coy,

Not seeing any of the code or actual messages makes it hard to diagnose.
Also not sure if you are following a particular doc or set of instructions.
This worked pretty well for me
http://ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/administrator/systemsmanagement/sftp-tips/

One thing I do remember is the profile name used in the execution has to be
authorized to the various directories and files.
Also, just because it's in the log "no file or directory" doesn't mean its
not working- it's going through a list of possibilities and many really
don't exist - the log below is working code...
The -vvv on the sftp cmd makes the log "very verbose" - lots of details..
I worked out all my problems with that log, but it is many pages long for a
simple upload.
I did parameterize many of the variables so that can switch from test to
production easily.

I did set mine up to log to a file:
DCL VAR(&LOGF) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(100) +
VALUE('/xyz/log/logxyz31.txt')

/* get parms from postal control for test or active */
CALL PGM(XYZ30) PARM(&test &user &host)
/* set log file - will build a new log file each execution */

RMVLNK OBJLNK(&LOGF)
MONMSG MSGID(CPF0000)
CHGVAR VAR(&ENVCO) VALUE('FILEAPPEND=' *TCAT &LOGF)

ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_QSH_CMD_OUTPUT) VALUE(&ENVCO)
REPLACE(*YES)
/* write a comment in the log to note program and date and time */

QSH CMD('echo "-pgm:xyz31c---------------------"; +
date; +
echo "---------------------------------";')
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(SFTP_USER) VALUE(&USER) REPLACE(*YES)
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(SFTP_HOST) VALUE(&HOST) REPLACE(*YES)

CHGVAR VAR(&CMD) +
VALUE('PATH=$PATH:/QOpenSys/usr/bin/ && +
sftp -vvv -b +
/xyz/script/ls_receive.sftp +
$SFTP_USER@$SFTP_HOST')

From the log file

Thank you. Still something I'm missing even after using the -P2222. Says
file or directory in path does not exist. Not sure what it's talking about.
But the local and remote paths do exist.

Our network folks have us so locked down, I can't even test sftp from our

power systems.

So we are attempting to setup invoking sftp on our iSeries.

Ultimately, I know I'll call the sftp pgm similiar to the following...

Call Pgm(QP2SHELL) Parm('/QOpenSys/usr/bin/sftp' '-b'
'/TMP/sftpBatchFile.TXT' 'Omegasonics-scotty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx')


However, if I call it now, I get a "connection timeout"... I do know

that

I also need to connect to the host using port 2222 also, but not sure how

to specify that.

Has anyone recently jumped through these hoops and able to guide me on
what I need to do to configure this. Yes, there is pretty good info
out there that I began studying (especially by Klement), but was
hoping to get a short-cut so to speak to the nitty gritty. :)
