Question

  Asked: Jul 22 2008   7:21 PM GMT
  Asked by: Foolsewing

I want to know if it is possible to transfer data from Iseries to a web site and upload some back. This is for our bank and we do not want to use FTP


Data transfer, WebSphere, V5R4, iSeries

We need to send files to our bank and receive files back via a web site. What would be the best way. This is the only data we send out of the company now so we would like to do it with what we have and not spend money. We do have a new Iseries with V5R4 so I thought we could use Websphere. What do you think?

I have no clue what SCP or SFTP are. I am an RPG developer I don’t know much about PC stuff.
Can you explain?

Hi,

SCP is Secure Copy and SFTP is Secure FTP - both are basically secured versions of <a href="http://FTP." rel="nofollow">FTP.</a> SCP works more like a one line command (like a DOS copy or xcopy command), whereas SFTP works very much the same as FTP (so you’d need some sort of script to run it).

Martin Gilbert.

I do appreciate your help and answers but now I have more questions. Can I use SCP without SFTP? Or also can SCP get the file to the bank and retrieve it too? I ask because I am not using FTP since the bank requires encryption and we would have to purchase something to get it encrypted.

Thanks
Pat

Hi,

You can use SCP without SFTP, they are both alternative methods to the standard <a href="http://FTP." rel="nofollow">FTP.</a>
