I think that SCP has the same problems as SFTP. The main problem being that the SSH protocol does not have text and binary modes. To make SSH work the SSHD on z/OS always converts between ASCII and EBCDIC. This makes binary copies fail, even if you specify binary in SFTP. I think that if you copy a binary file with SCP it will be converted anyway, making a mess of your binary data.

SCP (Secure Copy) and SFTP (Secure FTP) come with Linux (including SuSE). Your real question is where there is a daemon on z/OS that these can talk to, right? OpenSSH includes SCP and SFTP clients and servers and OpenSSH is available for z/OS. The web site says there are known problems with SFTP on z/OS, but nothing about problems with SCP.
