secure ftp ?

I have written an interface program to extract insurance information from
PeopleSoft to be sent to Zurich Insurance Company. The original intent of
the interface process was for the process to be an automated two-step
process.
The first program creates the interface file. Upon successful completion
of the first program, the second program executes a call to UNIX and logs
into the remote server via an SFTP command in order to put the interface
file on the remote server.

Zurich Insurance requires that the file be sent via SFTP, not FTP. I
have confirmed this with technical support at Zurich. I have tried to
connect to their IP address using FTP and it does not work. Their FTP
site is setup only to receive SFTP.

Zurich recommends use of the SecureFX software but this only works on
Windows-based servers. They recommend OpenSSH for Unix based servers.
now our company policy says - No use of free software in production - is
there any other way to accomplish this ?

or what you guys are using ?

Thanks
