​There are _NO_ connections to z/OS even from internal boxes. When files
need to be transferred, they are written from z/OS to the appropriate,
internal, FTP server. This basically runs FTP ​software called "Beyond
FTP". When a file shows up in a particular directory, it is encrypted and
forwarded by that box to the appropriate external user, or just transferred
to the correct internal Windows "share". This is mainly to update internal
MS SQL databases. The reverse is done for external boxes - they ftp
encrypted files to this server, which decrypts it and forwards it to the
proper Windows share.
