Re: ACS IFS upload facility

Secure Copy Protocol

Mainly a unix creation but useful in IBM i.  It runs over SSH.

See:  How to Securely Copy Files in Linux | scp Command - GeeksforGeeks
<https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/scp-command-in-linux-with-examples/> for a
UNIX example but if you have the open source stuff loaded it's there.
Might also be in the base as well but I've not used that one.
