You should also ask the question, "Why am I moving files like that?" Often it makes sense to have something a little more sophisticated in order to integrate systems. These days Web Services are fashionable, to pick an example, and there's ample capability in mainframe subsystems to provide them.
There's also ordinary e-mail and MQ. In fact, Web Services (SOAP) ride over MQ very nicely. Choose MQ if you want a reliable transport. If you have the MQ for z/OS "Client Attach Feature" then you've got unlimited client MQ rights to connect to those z/OS queue managers. (Most z/OS installations have MQ, and most of those have the Client Attach Feature from what I can tell.) Lots of options. - - - - - Timothy F.
