Co:Z SFTP batch Permission denied issue

[jloweDt]

Hello,
Running Co:Z SFTP on a Development LPAR and it is working OK. Installed Co:Z SFTP on a production LPAR and Co:Z SFTP batch jobs are failing with Permission denied. The batch job fails using a pub key extracted from a RACF certificate and a public key I generated for my userid. Two separate public keys both failing with Permission denied. However the job works if I do not use the ". $script_dir/sftp_put.sh" command but use a "put' command.

Job FAILS Permission denied using the following commands:
user=userid
host=ip address
lzopts="mode=text"
rfile=/u/home/userid/file_name
lfile=//DD:ZOSDD
. $script_dir/sftp_put.sh

Job WORKS using the following commands:
user=userid
host=ip address
lzopts="mode=text"
. $script_dir/sftp_connect.ssh << EOB
put //MVS.DATASET.NAME remote.file.name
EOB

If anyone has any idea as to whythe job fails let me know. Thank You

This message in general means that your SSH authention method (password, publickey, etc) failed.
In order to diagnose, we would need to see an SSH trace.
To obtain this, add the following to your shell script (prior to invoking sftp_put.sh)

ssh_opts="$ssh_opts -vvv"

You can then post the results here, but you may wish to obfuscate any userids, ip addresses or host names.

Reviewed the IBM Ported Tools for z/OS: OpenSSH - Key Authentication presentation (ssh_keys_part1_2012-06-12.pdf) Slide 20 Common Pitfalls and found the problem with an incorrect Permission bit setting.. Thanks jim
