FTPS = FTP over SSL (secure socket layer)
SFTP = FTP over SSH (secure shell)
Cloverleaf supports FTPS. It does not support SFTP.
On unix you will most likely need to use openssl to generate keys. More info at
There are many documents out on the internet explaining how to generate keys using openssl. I suggest you do a google search or ask your FTP partner for more information.

If they are wanting SFTP we were able to do a small script with “expect” to work with those who wanted to. It is not pretty but it works.
After you get that working then talking to the vendor would be your next step.
The key exchange is not a requirement and the vendor might just require a password.
When you make your first SSH connection with the vendor do it manually until that works before proceeding to automating it.
Here are some scripts I wrote that are running in production.
This is a real example you can reference to see how to use EXPECT commands within HCITCL to automate an interactive SSH/SFTP session.
Here is the module that does the SSH/SFTP/put/delete and is called _sftp_put_delete.tcl (so far I haven’t written a SFTP get script but the day is approaching I’m sure )
#!/usr/bin/ksh

Well the day did come that I had to write some other SFTP scripts prior to upgrading to a version of Cloverleaf that has the SFTP protocol.

here is the _sftp_get_delete.tcl script:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
# this line to escape the next line from the tcl interpreter
exec hcitcl “$0” “$@”
#
# Begin Module Header ==============================================================================
#
#——
# Name:
#——
#
# _sftp_get_delete.tcl
#
#———
# Purpose:
#———
#
# This is a generic argument driven stand alone TCL script.
#
# That uses SFTP to get file(s) from a remote directory
# on a foriegn system and place a copy of them into a local directory
# on then delete the file(s) from the remote directory.
#
#——–
# Inputs:
#——–
#
# parameter_file
#
# the complete file name of the file that will define all the set variable
# commands that get dynamically executed by this script.
# Below are the variables that need to be defined in the parameter file:
#
# host_name
# user_id
# pass_word
# remote_dir
# remote_files
# local_dir
#
# lock_file
#
# sftp_prompt
# pass_word_prompt
# pass_word_prompt_timeout
# sftp_get_timeout
#
#——-
# Notes:
#——-
#
# All the debug and error output has a unique ID to help locate where they are in this proc!!!
#
# The ID to be used for new gets debug statements is ##### Dxx
# The ID to be used for new gets error statements is ##### Exx
#
# sftp only transfers files in binary mode and has no option to transfer files in ascii mode
#
# Refer to batch_051 for example of normal usage which is as follows:
#
# nice -20 _sftp_get_delete.tcl $HCISITEDIR/scripts/_051/.${MDA_BATCH_ENV}_051__sftp_get_delete.set_variables
#
# This script can handle multiple files by passing something like “*.charge”
#
# Each of the file(s) will be copied via SFTP/get one at a time to be sure
# each of them were successfully copied via SFTP/get from the remoter server
# before deleting them from the remote directory.
#
# The file(s) will have the same name on the local system that they had on the remote system,
# so if you want the files to have different names then you will have to rename them after this script completes.
#
#——-
#
# Here is a way to run SFTP commands in batch mode but still get prompted for an interactive login which is required by our enterprise security group:
# (if commands ilike get in my_file_of_sftp_commands error out then the batch file will terminate and I can echo $? to determine failure or success)
#
# sftp -o “batchmode no” -b $my_file_of_sftp_commands $user_id@$hostname
#
# FYI:
#
# -b batchfile
#
# Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input
# batchfile instead of stdin. Since it lacks user
# interaction it typically would be used in conjunction with non-
# interactive authentication. However, those places that require a
# interactive login prompt can get around this by using the switch
# -o “batchmode no”. A batchfile of `-‘ may be
# used to indicate standard input. sftp will abort if
# if any of the following commands in my_file_of_sftp_commands fail:
#
# get
# put
# rename
# ln
# rm
# mkdir
# chdir
# ls
# lchdir
# chmod
# chown
# chgrp
# lpwd
# df
# lmkdir
#
# Termination on error can be
# suppressed on a command by command basis by prefixing
# the command with a `-‘ character ( for example, -rm /tmp/blah* )
#
# URL to get exist status code maybe but probably have to use batch mode without interactive login to get this to work
# but I have to use interactive login method due to security policy so I resorted to screen scraping using Expect to check for success
#
# http://objectmix.com/tcl/246764-how-get-exit-status-spawned-process.html
#
# spawn ssh root@abc.com
# expect …
#
# then how can i get the exit status of ssh?
#
# Short answer: set status [lindex [wait] 3]
#
# Longer answer:
#
# set wait_list [wait]
#
# foreach {pid spawn_id flag status} $wait_list break
# set additional_info [lrange $wait_list 4 end]
#
# if {$flag == 0} {
# set exit_status $status
# foreach {errname sig desc} $additional_info break
#
# } else {
# set errno $status
# # read about “errorCode” to parse $additional_info
# # http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/tclvars.htm#M18
# # and KBK’s contribution to http://wiki.tcl.tk/exec

#
# wait [args]
# delays until a spawned process (or the current process if none is named) terminates.
# wait normally returns a list of four integers. The first integer is the pid of the process that was waited upon.
# The second integer is the corresponding spawn id. The third integer is -1 if an operating system error occurred, or 0 otherwise.
# If the third integer was 0, the fourth integer is the status returned by the spawned process.
# If the third integer was -1, the fourth integer is the value of errno set by the operating system. The global variable errorCode is also set.
#
# Additional elements may appear at the end of the return value from wait. An optional fifth element identifies a class of information.
# Currently, the only possible value for this element is CHILDKILLED in which case the next two values are the C-style signal name and a short textual description.
#
# The -i flag declares the process to wait corresponding to the named spawn_id (NOT the process id).
# Inside a SIGCHLD handler, it is possible to wait for any spawned process by using the spawn id -1.
#
# The -nowait flag causes the wait to return immediately with the indication of a successful wait.
# When the process exits (later), it will automatically disappear without the need for an explicit wait.
#
# The wait command may also be used wait for a forked process using the arguments “-i -1”.
# Unlike its use with spawned processes, this command can be executed at any time.
# There is no control over which process is reaped. However, the return value can be checked for the process id.

# 2011.05.10 Russ Ross
# – wrote initial version
#
#
# 2011.08.26 Russ Ross
# – removed unecessary parameters that would of been used for alerts

# and do the alert if necessary.
