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

Hi Greg,

Here is a very quick and simple example of using those API's

PGM
DCL VAR(&ORIGUSER) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(12)
DCL VAR(&SFTPUSER) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(12)
MONMSG (CPF0000 MCH0000) EXEC(GOTO DONE)
// Get the profiles handles for *Current and SFTPUSER
CALL PGM(QSYGETPH) PARM(*CURRENT *NOPWD &ORIGUSER)
CALL PGM(QSYGETPH) PARM(SFTPUSER *NOPWD &SFTPUSER)
// Change to SFTPUSER
CALL PGM(QWTSETP) PARM(&SFTPUSER)
// Check what the profile is for the job
wrkjob
// Switch back to the original user
DONE: CALL PGM(QWTSETP) PARM(&ORIGUSER)
// Release the profile handles
CALL PGM(QSYRLSPH) PARM(&ORIGUSER)
CALL PGM(QSYRLSPH) PARM(&SFTPUSER)
endpgm

Don - that was considered. I had some help offline to possibly do that.
But I've never done that before and I had to get this running quickly.
Maybe give this a shot when I have more time.

I have not been following this thread closely but is there a reason you
don't just call a CL, do a profile swap, run the copy and switch back ?

With the Get Profile Handle (QSYGETPH) and Set Profile Handle (QWTSETP)
APIs,

Cheers
Don

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
