Hi Janet, As others has mentioned, there is no native sftp client (yet?) in 4D. On Mac I’m using the OS built in sftp command which is called using LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS. For my purpose, I create a ‘batch’ file which contains the necessary sftp commands and then run it with sftp.
Eg. a possible content of the batch file could be: cd /mydir ls -1 Set the directory to mydir and get the directory listing. Keep in mind this is Unix, you must separate the lines with line feeds. Then the command is like: sftp -b ‘pathToBatchFileInPosixFormat’ -i ‘pathToIdentityFileInPosix’ -oPort=9999 username@serveraddress pathToIdentityFileInPosix is the path to the rsa file containing your key. This file is normally stored in your home folder in a .ssh directory: /Users/yourname/.ssh You can use eg System folder(Desktop) to get the path to your home folder. Just toss out the last part of the path. The fun with this is you can setup and test first in terminal and when all is working as expected, move to 4D.
