Co:Z SFTP

This product is included with the Co:Z Toolkit. It is a port of OpenSSH sftp (client and server) for z/OS which adds support for MVS datasets, catalogs, partitioned datasets, etc. This product is designed to work with an existing SSH product, such as IBM's Ported Tools for z/OS - OpenSSH.

Using Co:Z sftp-server, systems with OpenSSH or another sftp compatible package may transfer files directly to MVS datasets and control all aspects of dataset formats, codepage conversion, and allocation. This release only includes the sftp-server, a future release will also include a new port of the z/OS sftp client.

The Co:Z sftp client may be used interactively or from a z/OS batch job.

Features:

• Works with most existing sftp implementations
• Transfer datasets via the get and put commands
• Navigate z/OS catalogs via the cd command.
• List dataset information and PDS directories via the ls command.
• Records SMF 119 records if user has BPX.SMF SAF authorization.

  • MVS sequential datasets (QSAM, BSAM, VSAM)
  • PDS and PDSE members
  • SYSOUT datasets, including the MVS internal reader
• Supports text or binary conversion via flexible line-termination rules
