ARP-SFTP (sFTP software for the IBM i)
ARP-SFTP is a powerful and intelligent Secure FTP client for the IBM i. Unlike other products offered for the IBM i, ARP-SFTP runs natively and does not require the use of extra hardware, partitions or even your PASE environment. ARP-SFTP is built upon OpenSSH and is the first true port of an SSH client to the native IBM i environment.
With ARP-SFTP you have the ability to automate any task with a remote sFTP server. Every sFTP request is a CL command giving you the ability to automate retries and recovery steps within a CL program. ARP-SFTP can issue any type of sFTP command to a remote server allowing you to fully automate any process even beyond file transfers.
