--------------------------------------------------------
                       
                  Hello, 

                  I was looking for Damien Miller, Markus Friedl or Theo de Raadt to 
                  possibly answer an SFTP question. I am having trouble locating an example 
                  and think the task can not be done. 

                  Do you have an example of an unix host machine initiating a file transfer 
                  to an ibm z/OS and create a mvs file? 

                  I have examples from appendix A of the IBM Ported Tools for z?OS Users 
                  Guide that shows how from IBM jcl initiated, I shell down using the !cp 
                  command to pull it in to z/OS unix, then sFTP to the external unix 
                  machine. That works ok. I can also run an IBM mvs job and pull a file 
                  from my Tokyo site and create a MVS file, but it is running the program on 
                  the IBM side. 

                  If my client's unix Sun box in Tokyo connects to my chicago ibm 
                  mainframe, what sFTP commands to I use to create a MVS file? 

                  This perhaps? 

                  put john_sftp_test.txt "//'TEST.JOHN.SFTP.TEXT'" 
                  quit 

                  Or perhaps I need to have a file watcher running on ibm z/Os unix to run a 
                  program to complete the transfer. 

                  Thank you for your assistance.

                  Hi John,

                  I'm afraid the only ones who can help with this would be those who 
                  know how the implementation on z/OS was done. I guess that is IBM.

                  I suggest starting with trying to downloading files from your IBM 
                  machine, even though this is not what you ultimately want to do. 
                  It might provide more helpful error messages or hints that will 
                  help understanding the required filename syntax. 

                  Oh, and are you absolutely sure that the IBM machine actually is able 
                  to act as an SFTP server? This may not be the case.

                  Does this work? Then you're all set.

                  One option is certainly to always initiate the transfer from the IBM 
                  machine, since you've found a working method for that. You would have 
                  to set up a staging server which both tokyoclient and youribm can log 
                  in to via SFTP. It could run some common Linux or other well-known 
                  system. 


                  Hope this helps.
