Ed Given your options that you mentioned I'd first look at using Curl in a batch job probably first trying HTTPS (seems that that is what most Corporate firewalls allow through with the least restrictions). Corporate Firewalls seem to abhor any protocol that has the letters F T and P anywhere in the name.

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://clicktime.symantec.com/3Q14i3wpEpHJfAH3YKUGFFN7Vc?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fsupport%2Fpages%2Fnode%2F739631 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...
