Re: SFTP Initial Setup

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi Peter,

You should find PASE under GO LICPGM option 11.   (If it's not under 
option 10, that means you don't have it installed yet -- use option 11 
to install it.  You'll need to insert the OS CDs and/or image catalogs 
to install it.)

5733SC1 was shipped with the OS, but is not on the core OS CDs in V5R4. 
You have to find the CDs with 5733SC1 and use the RSTLICPGM command to 
install it as described here:

I would also make sure you have QShell (57xxSS1, opt 30) installed. 
Although you can use OpenSSH (the software that provides sftp) without 
QShell, having QShell makes it a LOT easier to integrate it with native 
software.  QShell (like PASE) is an optional component of the operating 
system.

However, I did GO LICPGM and used "option 10. Display installed licensed programs" but I do not see any of these two licensed programs.  I read that this is part of the operating system.  Is this correct?
