Re: sFTP

We use Python with pExpect so we are using openSSH sFTP called within python.

The Python script is called from a .sh script which is shelled out from CL using QB2SHELL (see frag below).

Hello all,


I have been following up on the posts regarding sFTP and the following was
quoted by John Yeoug :

“You could also switch to using API-style programming with, say, Python and
pysftp. That tends to be much more flexible and less brittle.”


My question.. do you have a python example using pysftp …


How are you invoking the call to your python script… are you calling it
directly via CLLE or are you running it as a service somewhere.


If you are invoking with CLLE or RPGLE then please post an example if
available.


Many thanks
