Thank you all for your response. So, my understanding after reading your comments on testing SFTP is to download Winscp client on my windows system and use this to transfer file between z/OS host ( SFTP configured ) and my windows system.
Please correct me, if I am missing anything. Also, I believe there is no constraint of transferring omvs and z/OS dataset files to window system and vice versa using WINSCP client. Any specific setup do we need on Winscp client to use only SFTP for this transfer between mainframe system.
