WE have a need to begin electronically sending data to a state agency which has formerly received a tape from us. They have set up an sftp server on their end and given us the user ID and password they want us to use. I can sign on to their site from Windows and from a Linux guest hosted on our mainframe but I have not so far been able to sign on from z/OS.
It is not possible to start an ssh session from within OMVS under TSO. Presumably, we should be able to start sshd and sign on from a client session, but that entails some security work which has not been performed. (Given the workload on our security guy, I don't look for it any time soon, either.) This makes testing and experimenting slow. Ideally, I would like to be able to set up a batch job that can be run under scheduler control to transmit this file when it is generated. If I am reading the correct information, though, it is not possible to do this in batch mode using ID/password authentication. Can anyone say whether this is correct? Am I going to need to get the remote server to add our keys to their setup?
