There is a requirement to have a unix machine perform FTP using SSH2 to a FTP server. The FTP server support SSH2.

What software / configuration are needed in order to fullfil this requirement in the unix machine ?

Depending on your needs, you might also look at rsync, which will transfer files using the ssh mechanism. You just have to tell it to do so on the command line. rsync has several advantages over ftp and is better for batch mode transfers.

[Steven E. Protter]

Depending on the OS of the ftp server, you should be able to set up password free openssh/secure shell to do this.

The command would be scp

openssh for Linux distributions(its standard now)

Secure Shell for HP-UX.

See this doc.
