HTTPS, SFTP or PGP for AS400? - comp.sys.ibm.as400.misc

What is the least expensive way to share files on an AS/400? I'm guessing HTTPS, SFTP or PGP are options. We're sharing files with an outside party and at this time the AS/400 operator is pulling a spool file to his desktop with Client Access and then using PGP to encrypt the file before sending via email. Help please! Thank you and Happy Holidays.

Doing some research, to get SLL working on my V5R4 it seems I need to get DCM installed. Is this a free app? I am on IBM maintence so do you think they will send me an install disc?

I haven't looked into it lately but here are some parts you need: 5722SS1 12 Host Servers 5722SS1 34 Digital Certificate Manager 5722SS1 35 CCA Cryptographic Service Provider If you have IBM software maintenance you can call 1 800 IBM SERV and tell them you are trying to get digital certificate manager installed and running and they will point you to all the resources you need and walk you through it if need be. And in answer to the original question, SFTP is great for sending/ receiving data files securely across the public internet.

Can you offload the txt file to secure ftp server at your location.

That sounds good as then the outside source would not actually be hitting the iseries, but how to automate?

Off the top of my head, it's something like QSH CMD('/QOpenSys/bin/scp -i /path/to/identity_file /path/to/local/file + user_id@remote_host:/path/to/remote/file') If you're fetching a file to the iseries instead, you just put the user_id@ part in front of the /path/to/local/file instead of behind. -- 83.
