SFTP is fairly east to add to your system. It comes with OpenSSH.

1. Install OpenSSL
2. Install OpenSSH

Use these sites to get OpenSSL and OpenSSH software:

http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/opensshi

The link for OpenSSL can be found at the top of the OpenSSH page [registration/login required].


rpm (if you do not already have it) can be found here:

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/download.html

You need to install OpenSSH=. Full details can be found at

http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/opensshi

where you can download the software. Note that you will also need OpenSSL availabble from the same source. I did the 'out of the box' install and all worked fine with no further configuration.

Thanks - I have now managed to download the relevant file, and have extracted it -

I have now installed this via smitty successfully and have the resulting 'rc' files in /etc

-rwxrwxr-- 1 root system 4977 Sep 18 2002 rc.tcpip

When I try to 'run' the rc.openssh file, I get the following error -

root@hqax01 /etc >./rc.openssh
Starting OpenSSH daemon on port 22
Could not load program /usr/local/sbin/sshd:

Error was: No such file or directory
rc.openssh: CMD: error detected in '/usr/local/sbin/sshd -f /etc/openssh/sshd_config -h /etc/openssh/ssh_host_key'


Any ideas guys?

Did you do OpenSSL as well? It's available from the same Bull web site.

Have now downloaded openssl, and have extracted -

I have tried to load the .bff file via smit, but to no avail-

When I try to do this, smitty fails to find it -
Full execute permissions have been set on the file...

[Yegolev]

alternative may be to compile from source. theoretically, that is much more difficult than installing a bff with installp, however it is still kind of easy. also you will get a recent version.

if smit cannot find the file, my only suggestion is to verify the path and filename.

Ok -
I have now downloaded and installed opsnssh and openssl,
both via smitty -

I now need information on how to set the sshd running so that I amy use sftp -

thanks,

I have recieved an error when running the 'make' command during the zlib install -

cc -O -qmaxmem=8192 -DNO_snprintf -DHAS_sprintf_void -DNO_ERRNO_H -c adler32.c
/bin/sh: cc: not found.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 127.

any ideas? am I missing a compiler?

Yep ... or the compiler is not in your path.
