Home ARP-SFTP sFTP Scripting Software

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.
