Thanks for your answer. I am trying to connect to SFTP servers on different
platforms. One of them is on MVS (mainframe). Since the folder structure
for MainFrame is different , I will need to handle that differently. So I
need to know when I connect to a server the OS it is running on.
Any pointers on how to achieve this??
Thanks
