Re: [IBMiOSS] sFTP File Transfer Failure

That's definately worth a try. I'm stuck on another Client's Credit Card
Processing Software upgrade
the rest of today, but I'll try the binary command as soon as I can and
report back.
 
Thanks for the idea.

I'm curious now. Would passing the BINARY command to the FTP server help
avoid the encoding issues, or would you still have to explicitly work with
the correct encoding depending on the files to be transferred?

I ask because I helped a developer set up a scheduled job that runs an
sFTP
transfer each night (using keys for authentication). The job calls a
program
that has a CL command which calls bash script, as described at this IBM
article, and I never had to dabble with encoding.
[1]https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/684869

The CL command is the following:
QSH CMD('/QOpenSys/usr/bin/sh -c "/path/to/shell/script/sftp.sh"')

The bash script is the following:
#!/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/bash

sftp user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx << EOF
binary
cd transfer
lcd /local/path/to/file
put *.*
exit
EOF

Definitely check the CCSID of the file. Unlike FTP, sFTP will not convert
the EBCDIC data to whatever the other end needs. We just started using
sFTP
with a business partner and use 819 for the file we send.

CCSID of the job/file?
