    Hi All,

    You have the correct link. Download the OPENSSH package from http://advantage.webmethods.com.

    Install the Package and check for the services. I Guess you only need to set up sftp client on your side.

    I have done this complete implementation (PGP + SFTP). Let me know if i can help you.

    Email to me.

    Regards
    Amit

    Hi,

    I configure my IS and remote machine as per the instruction in OpenSSH sample provided by webMethods. I am able to connect to remote machine without password being asked. But when i run sftp service from developer, it throws exception that sftp command not found. Same error with other ssh command like scp, not found error.
    Is there any other configuration changes i need to make this service work.
    Thanks,
    Khalil.

    Is sftp or scp available on the command-line? Are they available to the use that is running IS?

    The IS is running as some user account. Does that account have permissions to run sftp/scp?

    I am able to do the sftp now. I changed the config file in openssh.properties to direct the IS to the right location of sftp command in unix. I supplied full path as openssh.sftpcmd=/usr/local/bin/sftp
    and it works.

    Thanks for all the help,
    KK

    [URL]Hi Amit,[/u]

    [URL]I need to do something similar. My 6.1 IS runs on Unix with Unix UserID as “intser61” and has OpenSSH. And the SFTP server I want to connect gave me a userid as “user01”. Now when I use the “ssh-keygen” command, on system with IS installed, as described in the webMethods OpenSSH Pkg PDF to create a pvt/pub key pair the pub key generated has a value like “…yDVTiL0ePJhJsoHkIIZTRBQe8opvd8UAAXU/7ys= intser61@ISHost”. So it means, to me, that user “intser61” can now be able to SSH without using password. But there is no such user “intser61” on the SFTP server. The SFTP server has to be accessed with userid = “user01” and so I need to create a pvt/pub key pair with that user id. How do I do that when ssh-keygen command doesnt have an option to specify userid?

    Pls reply. Thanks in advance.
    Rgds,
    Sandeep
