Poking the I HATE EBCDIC bear? :)
When I wrote up some doc showing application programmers how to setup
mainframe SSH keys, the example showed scp to transfer the text public
key to the non-mainframe box. It was less error-prone since the
translation to ASCII was built in and (I think) impossible to turn off.

The SFTP file-transfer add-on using the SSH protocol on z/OS, at least with the
OpenSSH port, is the only one I know of that allows conversion between the

By default, on z/OS, SFTP is binary; you can elect to translate; you can do
much more with Co:Z. I have never used SCP; I am not quite sure what the point
would be.
