We have an arrangement with our #1 customer where they enter their orders to us via xml, and we retrieve those orders through a CL program from their FTP server. Up until this point our connection had been a standard FTP.
The procedure we use in a nutshell:
1. User runs a CL which views the directory on the customer's server. The file is 'UNITED.XXX' where XXX is a batch number incremented with each order.
2. User takes another menu option where they can select the batch number. The number is in by default, using scripts that increment the number at the time of successfull transfer.
Their Systems Engineer just notified us that they are changing over to SFTP in order to be PCI compliant. They told me that the secure connection is going to run through port 990. I've been looking at Scott Klement's guides which have helped me in the past, but it appears to me that SFTP assumes port 22. I'm not sure how to proceed.
I realize there are probably some things I left out, so feel free to assume I know nothing. (it's not very far from the truth )
