Cloverleaf 2022.09 SFTP from Red Hat Linux to put file

What is the behavior of the bug?

Sorry just curious, we don’t use SFTP using the purchased add-on, we use the SFTP that comes with SSH on AIX. Every new connection seems to bring new challenges so we like to see other’s implementations and learn from them.

We use a comm toolkit from Chilkat.

It has a Tcl extension that has a ton of functions.

So far, we’re using it for SFTP and HTTPS.

I have chilkat integrated into Tcl SFTP and HTTPS utilities I can share if anyone’s interested.

I am interested! is there a web page for basic info about Chilkat? and its SFTP capabilities?

And then I’m wondering where and why you use it.

Thank you.

At first glance it does not appear to be approved for AIX.

Ahhhh… I was thinking you were RHEL, but that was Erik.  My apologies.

no worries!

Cloverleaf 19.1.2 on RHEL 8.
At first we didn’t have the Secure Messenger option, so I wrote an sftp-script myself, with Expect. But after having acquired the Secure Messenger license, I used the native sftp option with no problems at all. Much better than my own script.
So I’m not sure why you are having problems with sftp. Do you have the right license? Is a firewall blocking you connection?

Having said that, I do have a problem when using native sftp with a keypair. Keypair works fine with sftp on RHEL prompt. I can also connect with the keypair when using curl on prompt, however I must precede the curl command with ‘hcirun.sh’ though to temporarily reset some libraries to the OS default.
But if I use the keypair in native sftp inside Cloverleaf in CL19.1.2 it doesn’t work. At all.; looks like the same error I get when I try curl without ‘hcirun.sh’ so looks like a library/version problem. So had to write a (curl) script for that.
We hope to upgrade to 2022.09 this summer; not sure if it will work then.

Posted to the wrong article originally.

Since infor switched to using curl as it’s engine, you cannot use the dot operator to indicate the home directory.
When you log into winscp and drill down to the drop off directory, whatever directory you see in the current path bar is what you need to use in the directory entry in cloverleaf.  Otherwise you will get the “Detailed error:Upload failed: No such file or directory ” error.

The value you need to use will depend on the configuration of the server you are logging into.  Here is a more detailed explanation https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/293756/set-startup-folder-for-sftp-to-be-other-than-home-username-is-throwing-me-permi

But I always use winscp to check that actual working directory value.

Hope this helps.
