Re: SFTP question

Is it possible to send files via SFTP instead of FTP using a command line interface? If not, is there any way to send a file using SFTP from IBM i natively [not just restricted to command line interface]? We are on V7R3.

First, sftp, scp and ssh all use the same base infrastructure, ssh. Beware that because it's a different protocol than FTP, the opposite side needs to support it also. You cannot connect with sftp to a stock ftp server.

Instead of using sftp (made for interactive use, like stock FTP also), you could use scp. scp /path/to/sourcefile remotehost:/path/to/dstdir/ or vice versa. I think it's a lot less cumbersome than to steer a "made for interactive use" program. See available documentation easily to be found with Google.

All ssh stuff is available only in PASE. I don't know what exactly you mean with "natively".
