To execute sftp on z/OS using USS, you will need to install IBM Ported Tools. This is a no cost feature available on the IBM website http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/unix/port_tools.html The ssh daemon has to be running.
I have recently set this up at our shop. sftp itself will not work under OMVS just as ssh won't. These are open source commands, not TSO/OMVS. Therefore, sftp does not (and should not if it is to remain open source) recognize MVS data set structures. You can use sftp in batch but you need extra steps. First you copy the data, the commands, then execute the transfer with those 2 files. Here is an example of going from z/OS to Unix: //xxxxxxxx JOB (33000),'sftp batch', // NOTIFY=&SYSUID, // CLASS=2,MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=1 //*==================================================== //* INITIATE script via ssh, copy to omvs //*==================================================== //JS010 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01 //INMVS DD DSN=YOUR.MVS.INPUT.FILE, // DISP=SHR //OUTHFS DD FILEDATA=TEXT, // PATHOPTS=(OWRONLY,OCREAT,OTRUNC), // PATHMODE=SIRWXU, // PATH='/u/omvs.file' //SYSTSIN DD * OCOPY IND(INMVS) OUTDD(OUTHFS) /* //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //* //JS020 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01 //INMVS DD DSN=your.sftp.commands, // DISP=SHR //OUTHFS DD FILEDATA=TEXT, // PATHOPTS=(OWRONLY,OCREAT,OTRUNC), // PATHMODE=SIRWXU, // PATH='/u/sftp.cmds' //SYSTSIN DD * OCOPY IND(INMVS) OUTDD(OUTHFS) /* //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //* //JS030 EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH, // PARM='sh sftp -b /u/sftp.cmds [EMAIL PROTECTED] name' //STDOUT DD PATH='/u/sftp.stdout', // PATHOPTS=(OWRONLY,OCREAT,OTRUNC), // PATHMODE=SIRWXU //STDERR DD PATH='/u/sftp.stderr', // PATHOPTS=(OWRONLY,OCREAT,OTRUNC), // PATHMODE=SIRWXU //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* within the sftp.commands file are your login information and the copy commands Apologies to anyone who has already sent this information - didn't read through all the posts on this question. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
