Hi Ed, for my site, we are required to use IBM Blue Diamond (SFTP) site, I
think most government sites are required to use this transport, it may be
available to the GP, I'm not sure, but it works very well for us.
Carmen,
SFTP is great for manual upload/download, but not so great for a batch
job. There is a "trick" for defeating the prompt using the SSH_ASKPASS
X11 stuff, but generally speaking it's an interactive protocol only. Is
that how you use it with Blue Diamond?
Their ordinary support page
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/739631 shows "ordinary" SFTP
addresses to be:
Americas testcase.boulder.ibm.com (170.225.15.31)
Asia sftp.ap.ecurep.ibm.com (169.56.38.162, 169.56.38.163)
Europe sftp.ecurep.ibm.com (192.109.81.25)
Blue Diamond requires sign-up to use. I could give it a try and see if
they allow any customer to use it. But, I'm pretty sure it's not
necessary for me.
I see there are other protocols offered as well: HTTPS, FTPS, the use of
utilities under Java or z/OS, etc.
Tryna find the one most people use for batch jobs...
Thanks,
Ed Jaffe

Subject: Transport of choice for sending data to IBM's ECuRep
With IBM threatening to discontinue plain FTP next Monday, I'm wondering
what is the transport of choice for sending data to ECuRep?
