John - thank you - I've got the authorized_keys file in place which allows me to use ssh/sftp from windows to z/OS without being prompted for a password.
I've not figured out the correct incantation to get filezilla/winscp/putty to honor it however. Lionel B.

I think somehow you might be able to do this in RACF, but we don't. Your public key on the Windows host needs to be added to the file "authorized_keys". Needs to be in your home directory on the z/OS system in the .ssh sub-directory. So if your home is "/home/lbdyck" on z/OS this would be /home/lbdyck/.ssh/authorized_keys ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
