Question on openSSH and sending file to MVS file formats

[John R. Mull]

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.
