I recently found out that I needed to use sftp and not plain old ftp.
So, I managed to get sftp installed on my AIX 5.3 box and now I have
been trying to figure out how to use it. It does not seem to have
prompts for user name or password. Both of these were provided by the
vendor whose sftp site I am trying to connect to. How do I go about
passing these to the site so that I can log in?
sftp user@site should prompt for the password.

Bill,
I get the prompt for the password but what I have been given
apparrently is only if you use applications like FileZilla. These
type of applications prompt for a user name and password which I was
given. The vendor is saying I need to use some sort of KeyGen
application to do something that will enable me to use sftp directly
from AIX. This is all new to me so any guidance that can be offered
is appreciated.
I think I have figured out the key generation stuff. Using ssh-
keygen, I produced a public/private key pair. My question is, now
what? Once the vendor does whatever it is going to do with the public
key, how do I connect using sftp? I have seen some sites talking
about adding the public key to authorized_keys but this was mentioned
in the context of the remote machine. Am I done on my end?
