Re: SFTP / FTPS

to make ssh easier ibm i open source has "sshpass" to make logons easier and "lftp"


DESCRIPTION
lftp is a file transfer program that allows sophisticated FTP, HTTP and other connections to other hosts. If
site is specified then lftp will connect to that site otherwise a connection has to be established with the
open command.

lftp can handle several file access methods - FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, HFTP, FISH, SFTP and file (HTTPS and
FTPS are only available when lftp is compiled with GNU TLS or OpenSSL library). You can specify the method to
use in `open URL' command, e.g. `open http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux'. HFTP is ftp-over-http-proxy proto‐
col. It can be used automatically instead of FTP if ftp:proxy is set to `http://proxy[:port]'. Fish is a pro‐
tocol working over an ssh connection to a unix account. SFtp is a protocol implemented in SSH2 as SFTP subsys‐
tem.

Sounds like you have solved your immediate issue.

For future reference for you or anyone here using Python, this may be an option:

https://pypi.org/project/pysftp/

You can easily create all kinds of customized SFTP scripting if needed..

Hello Stefan, Patrik, Jack, Kevin, Jerry, Diego

Back from doing my homework...

I have followed most of the links you threw my way But, as I've always tried to reduce homework to a minimum, I kept looking for a simpler way and finally found QMGTOOLS/STRSFTP


https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/qmgtools-sftp-command


for my simple needs (download files) it's perfect and works like a charm.


Thanks everyone for sharing knowledge and knowhow with me.
