We are starting/started using SFTP but I was wondering if FTP between
partitions on the IBM i is a security concern.
Occasionally I want to send a production file to my dev partition for
testing. In the past I did this using FTP.

I'm just wondering if SFTP is needed when sending files across partitions?

Thanks,

Rob
