Re: sFTP User Name - does it need to match user name on the server

Hello Greg,

So this worked fine under my user profile because I have authority to the SFTP Users .ssh directory (/home/biz/.ssh).

If I ran the CL program as another user, it failed
"Warning: Identity file /home/biz/.ssh/id_rsa not accessible: Permission denied.

OpenSSH requires the private key to be readable by the owner only, creating additional obstacles. Solution below…

hostkeys_find_by_key_hostfile: hostkeys_foreach failed for /home/biz/.ssh/known_hosts: Permission denied
Host key verification failed."

I tried CHGPGM PGM(ASTHHOBJ/MySFTPclp) USRPRF(*OWNER) - that didn't help.

Dunno what that should to in this particular case.

I guess I'm back to submitting the CL as the SFTP user? I don't know how else to overcome this.

Yes, please do so, as advised earlier. It also removes the need to give pathnames for files entirely, because they're used implicitly.

The most clean approach seen from SSH is to stay consistent with username and his home directory with all the files below.

(Only loosely related: You can make the whole thing less complex if you can switch from sftp to scp — if the sole thing it should do is copy data.)

(the reason I don't want to submit the job is that it's inside a job stream that deletes the files after sending)

Uhm, remove the delete temporarily?
