Re: SFTP client

Python supports SFTP if you want to roll your own.

I've written my own scripts that I use integrated with CL and RPG.

I also use Java and .Net at times as well for SFTP.

WIth an API you can have more fine grained control.

Could also look at commercial solutions like GoAnywhere. You have options.

subject: SFTP client

We are doing an increasing number of data exchanges using SFTP... I have been using the OpenSSH and scripting to accomplish this. However, we recently ran into issues where our script may have inadvertently deleted files.

The script runs "get *.csv" followed by "rm *.csv".

We think that the other party was uploading files at the same time I was downloading (several hundred or more files). So I'm looking for some way (or something) to better manage this for me.

TIA,
Greg
