RE: Secure FTP basics

["Chris Bipes" <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That can be either way.  I would try to use the std iSeries FTP client
using a secure connection.  If that does not work, you have to start
with SSH.  The port being xxx22 says it would be SSH as the std for SSH
is 22 while FTP over SSL uses 990.  Yes you can get an SSH client for
your iSeries to run under qshell but it takes work to install and
configure

Subject: Secure FTP basics

I've done lots of ftp but really haven't done "secure ftp".
Not wanting to appear dumb to the customer I want to know if he means
sftp 
or ftp via SSL or whatever.
We would be the client, they would be the server.
The information they gave me was:

Hello Rob, 
Thanks for taking a look at this.   Here's the info - 
IP Addr = ...
User ID = ...
Psw = ...
Port = 10022 

Didn't see anything enlightening in wiki.midrange.com or
faq.midrange.com
Googling was a wasteland.  Even selecting site:midrange.com didn't limit

it to that site.  Yahoo was much more respectful.

infocenter got zero hits on sftp.  Seemed to be mainly geared towards
SSL. 
 (Which I am not even sure that is what I want.)

How do I get started?
