There should be no argument, that the CoZ toolkit is AWESOME! It has been a favorite for many of us systems guys, for quite some time.
However, regardless of the subject line, I'm surprised no one has mentioned scp for text file transfers. Most folks go directly from ftp to sftp, thinking it's the only way to replace existing transfer work with a ssh secured transport. My experience has been that much of the time, folks are only ftping a single file, and much of the time, it's text data. Granted, the scp definition is that it is a binary byte-copy tool, it's worth noting that IBM did a great job of detecting and doing charset translation for text data. With public key authentication in place, you can do an scp with one step and little to no extra datasets (maybe an STDENV for our OCD friends): //* //* run scp in shell //JS030 EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,REGION=0M //STDOUT DD SYSOUT=* //STDERR DD SYSOUT=* //STDPARM DD * SH scp -v -B ~/scp/kjv.txt [email protected]:~/scp/kjv.txt /* //* Obviously, the users security and omvs environment must be workable, and conducive to ssh activity (a different, and document subject). Oh, and Gil, to use the ssh tools in 3270, I sometimes leave/fire up an inetd otelnetd running, and telnet to it from TSO. Kinda clunky line mode, but workable for the odd quick task.
