RE: ssl ftp

Hi, Scott.  This question may not be entirely on topic here, but since you mentioned the idea, I'll ask.

Do you have anything useful for working with sftp from RPG?  So far all I've had to do was download everything in the directory from a bank, so I just run a Pase shell script to do the sftp.  I can then use the IFS APIs to see what I got and do whatever I need to them.

The next project I have will be slightly more advanced, and it would be great to have more information about what is happening.  I need to know if there are files or not.  I need to delete files after I download them.  Other things that would be better suited to an intelligent program than a blind script.

Thanks.
