You might also consider using a tool like my (open-access or SPECIAL file based) UNIXCMD tool to run this sort of thing from RPG.

The only down-side is it's an extra program to install on your system. But, it makes it MUCH easier to write this stuff from RPG, and you can process the results directly (no need to write the screen data to a file and then read that file.. just read the output directly into your program with a normal RPG READ statement.)

UNIXCMD is open source, free, and I don't get anything for you using it (aside from the satisfaction of having helped someone). But if you're interested, you'll find it here:

Here's how I invoke sftp from CL:

CHGVAR VAR(&SFTPCMD) VALUE('/QOpenSys/usr/bin/' +
*CAT &SFTP *BCAT '-vvv -b +
/<somedir>/Script/<somescript>.txt' *BCAT +
<somehost> *BCAT '>> +
/<somedir><somelogfile>.txt 2>&1')

QSH CMD(&SFTPCMD)

<somescript> is on the IFS in a directory. You could use the IFS routines
to write the script file, or write the command to a phsyical file and use
CPYTOSTMF to copy it to the IFS. You could probably use your existing FTP
script program. Both FTP and sFTP use gets and puts and stuff.

I have a RPG program writing a FTP script and executing it. Now
management says it needs to be SFTP.

I understand that it runs from QSH and it runs on the IFS.

I will not be in charge of getting SFTP working just the program to
write
and execute the script.

Does anyone have any sample code they would be willing to share?
