SFTP on VMS - script

I have SFTP client setup on an Alpha ds20e running VMS 7.3-2
I am trying to connect to an Secure FTP server on a HP-UNX box.
How can I script a connection using username / password and IP address etc.
Is it something like

$SFTP username@IPaddress password

Im sure Ive seen how to do this before on this site?
many thanks

Re: SFTP on VMS - script

Use your own self-issued certificates and a no-password login. Details on the set-up are here:

http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1118

That article is specifically for connections from Mac OS X to OpenVMS, but the basic requirements for the other direction (OpenVMS to Unix) are the same.

(Embedded passwords are permissible in your environment? Even if they are, that would not be my implementation choice here.)

Re: SFTP on VMS - script

Which TCPIP stack are you using?
If the HP one then exactly what version
(do TCPIP SHOW VERSION).

You may need to use the -B option

Do ensure you are current on the 5.4 ECO kit as the earlier versions where not good.

V5.4 ECO7 seems to work
