    how do you specify an email address as the user ID in the SFTP command?

    SFTP helpdesk@florenceco.org@(server name)

    Hi David,

    I haven't tested this in IBM i, but I found this recommendation on stackexchange.  Please give it a try and update us whether it works or not!

    Pass the user name through the -o User option, or through the equivalent User directive in the client configuration file (~/.ssh/config).

    sftp -o Port=8777 -o User=user@example.com example.com

    This applies to ssh, scp and sshfs as well. Using the configuration file instead of -o options has the advantage of also working with tools that call ssh and don't let you easily pass command line options if at all.
