Hello,
I do a lot of FTP from our iSeries to Windows and Unix servers. Now I have a need to connect from the iSeries to a remote server using the SFTP protocol. I tried every combination of the PORT, SECCNN and DTAPROT parameters on the OS/400 FTP command and none will connect. I confirmed that I can connect to the remote site using Cute FTP Pro. Has anyone done this from an iSeries ?
Hmmm... this has nothing whatsoever to do with the Web, so I wonder why it's posted here. You might get more responses on MIDRANGE-L
But, I'm not sure whether you're really using FTP or not. Typically "sftp" is a program that's an interface to the SSH protocol. The front-end looks like the FTP front-end, but under the covers it's sending SSH protocol data and not the FTP protocol.
On the other hand, theres something that's sometimes called "ftps" or "ftp over SSL" that involves running the actual FTP protocol (With a few minor enhancements) but encrypts the connections with SSL. That's what the iSeries FTP client provides with the "SECCNN" parameter.
So I wonder if you're even looking in the right place? If you want the SSH version, IBM has a V5R3 no-charge licpgm for runnign OpenSSH on the iSeries. It requires PASE, which is also no-charge on V5R3 (or V5R2) and this'll give you the "sftp" command.
IF you need more info, specifics, or would like to hear about people's experiences, I strongly suggest posting this on MIDRANGE-L. It's not web related.
