We use PASE sFTP extensively to talk to the outside world.

We script all of our sessions following Scott Klements suggestions.

We drive our sFTP sessions with pExpect to that we get granular control of the entire session.

You can do either key-exchange or userid/password.

Hello Gad,

One such FTP site announced lately that in 3 months they will no longer
accept simple FTP connection and require us to use SPTP/FTPS.

In addition to what Stefan said, allow me to explain further, that sftp, scp and ssh are based on the same infrastructure and run all over TCP Port 22.

You can make your life much easier by trying to use scp instead of sftp. Sftp is made for interactive use, like the ftp command.

If you manage to negotiate (password-less) ssh key authentication with your peer, you might reduce your FTP handling to just a single scp call — if the transfer itself is simple enough.

:wq! PoC
