Re: Ever wanted IBM i to play nicely with Amazon S3 Storage

I believe Linux and Windows have similar potential for file object permissions.

If you actively avoid SFTP on IBMi, I'm curious where you do use SFTP ?

Thank you, Richard and Diego, for your answers. I will feed this up the chain and see if anything comes from it.

The idea of cURL seems appealing, but I have an instant dislike of anything SFTP related on the iSeries. With the tight integration between a user profile and SFTP, there's immediately another headache with the files downloaded. The securities are wrong for other users who need to read and manage those files. That means more work to ensure other users have object management rights to those same files. That then spawns issues when users are testing and the files are created by yet another user. The mix of IBM i IFS and SFTP is something I actively try to avoid now. My non-i partners never understand what went wrong and I'm still called back in to resolve things.
