Patrik,

I don't remove the files completely... I move them to a "processed" subdirectory after successful upload (I haven't tackled the "successful" part yet)

So I'm resigned to the fact of submitting the job. I put 30 second delay in my RPG program after submitting. Hopefully that's enough.

However, if the user calling the program has sufficient authority, the SFTP as the other user works flawlessly.

Why have the -i and -oUserKnownHostsFile options if this is a security issue?

Thanks again!
Greg
