On AIX you need open ssh installed and on windows there is an easy to use tool call "winscp" google it should be easy to find.

Dear friends,
Please, how can i know the level of encryption used by ftp ?
And what's the option -b for batch file, means ?
Thank's a lot in advance.
Regards.

1) ftp does no encription
I assume you mean the default encryption of sftp with your first "question" The default of that should be aes128-cbc but can be changed by request of the client. At winscp look at "SSH" in the Left Pane of the winscp window when you start it to see the used cipher (the one on Top is used).

2) About the batchfile thing, taken from te man page of sftp:
-b batchfile
Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input
batchfile instead of stdin. Since it lacks user
interaction it should be used in conjunction with non-
interactive authentication. A batchfile of `-' may be
used to indicate standard input. sftp will abort if
any of the following commands fail: get, put, rename,
ln, rm, mkdir, chdir, ls, lchdir, chmod, chown, chgrp,
lpwd and 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* ).

Not hat hard to read or?

You can use a simple program called Cygwin to sftp your files to a Aix system:

on windows system:
$ sftp astro
Connecting to astro...
"shows your user and server name" asks for password:
sftp> put rec*.log /tmp
Uploading receiver.log to /tmp/receiver.log receiver.log 100% 700KB 700.0KB/s 00:00

just google cygwin and install onto your windows system and run. easy.

Well, calling a whole emulated UNIX environment in Windows "simple" makes me smile

Hi

If you have installed putty to remote into your environment you may already have psftp installed, should be something like '<putty_install_path>\psftp' on your windows machine.

It's a command line utility and useful, however I do prefer winscp.

Cheers
