Re: Secure FTP Using SSH

["Mike Cunningham" <MCUNNING@xxxxxxx>]

I am looking to do an unattended transfer which I current do using WSFTP
on a PC that maps to the IFS. If runs every hour looks for files to
transfer, logs on to the remote site using sftp and sends the userid and
password and puts the file.

I use the native sftp client on iSeries.
sftp requires either a user/password pair, or key exchange.
If you are looking to automate unattended file transfers then you must
use 
keys.
BTW, this is true only for the openssh client, like the one we have in
PASE.
Putty (for windows) lets you script file transfers without passwords.
