I am working on a program that will do SFTP using a password and not a key.
I have built it based on this website -
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/batch-sftp-download-example-using-password
-authentication



When I run it, I am getting the following error



ssh_askpass: exec(/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/SC1/OpenSSH/libexec/ssh-askpass):
No such file or directory



When I look in that directory, ssh-askpass does not exist there. Does this
program (or whatever it is) exist in anyone else's machine? Does my machine
have a problem?



Also, for what it is worth, I opened a ticket with IBM to ask out if the
website is either obsolete or wrong or if there is a problem with that
directory on my machine and this was the response.

I see you are using password scripts with SFTP.

This Techdoc is provided on an unsupported AS-IS basis. It does work.

Your software maintenance contract does not cover this type of support. If
you need assistance with password scripting, a consulting contract would
need to be pursued.

The really irritating part is that I am writing this to pull PTFs from IBM's
website and password is the only SFTP option from them.



I'm not a happy camper with IBM software support right now.
