Re: Secure FTP?



Hi,


can you please describe the reason behind your  recommendation for  openssh rather than ftps ?

The openssh does not support exit programs which are part of security schema of many shops in the as400, and it is more difficult to establish batch oriented sftp client 

I use ftps where people allow me to..


Thanks
