Do we need the an server task (sshd?) running? I don't have sysprog access to may not be able to 'just test this out', but we'll see.
Being COBOL we don't (currently) run our compiles under Unix. Any thoughts about if/how this process might interface with 'traditional' z/OS things like ISPF and JCL? Thanks!

Ant-SSH lets you write an Ant XML script to upload (only the changed) files and run z/OS commands like "make" to build, on the same ssh connection. We use a desktop ssh key agent so that our scripts don't need passwords or user prompts. If you are already using Eclipse, try these steps: - download Ant-SSH to your workstation, and import it as a general project in Eclipse - follow the Ant-SSH README <https://dovetail.com/docs/antssh/readme.html> to add the ant-ssh/lib/*.jars to your Eclipse Ant classpath - test by customizing/running the ant-ssh/test/test1.xml test script (right-click "Run as / Ant Build") - download the ncdu zip file to your workstation - follow the ncdu README <https://dovetail.com/docs/ncdu/readme.html>: - customize build.properties per the README - run Ant build.xml to upload and build ncdu on z/OS using ant-ssh Kirk Wolf Dovetailed Technologies http://dovetail.com Dovetailed Technologies, LLC<http://dovetail.com/> dovetail.com Using Co:Z SFTP-server, systems with OpenSSH or another SFTP compatible client may transfer files directly to z/OS datasets, controlling all aspects of dataset ... > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
