Hi,
Assumig you are correct and you can't use a parameter as the password
And regardless of that need, I prefer using the command line invocation of the sftp.
That way your allowing easier trouble shooting if and when something goes wrong.

IHTH (I Hope This Helps),

almost forgot... After reading some IBM post regarding the environment variable and realizing that setting it might cause plugin issues later on I decided to use the above mentioned solution.

Thanks for the reply Andy :)
Can you get some info as to the implementation there?
What needs to be configured?
What kind of export / import method they use?
A heads-up on any obstacles would be nice ;)
Thanks in advance,

Where exactly are you trying to do this? If you're trying to use a job parameter, you must select it using the expression editor - for some reason typing it in is not recognized. I'll try it Ray, Thanks. That's true... it doesn't always need to be enclosed as I noted and I forget where it doesn't w...

I've done this many a time before with no issues.
Yes Rays they are the same, using save and load.
after the file is created I can view the data from either links.

Just seems like a weird File System issue of some sort.

IMHO,
Yes you went too far.
The whole concept is that everyone has access to it and it alerts you to objects being edited by others.

The only thing you want a final say about, is your production environmemnt,
otherwise you'll be doing nothing else except moving objects around all day.

Goog Luck,
