I came into the discussion a little late, so I had to read back to find out exactly what the problem was. You're right, but it seems like adding scp (or even rcp) capability to USS/zOS would make more sense than trying to back-port something like NJE to Linux just for yet another file transfer mechanism.
Neither FTP nor NJE are particularly secure, which wasn't a problem using NJE over dedicated SNA links, but that world is rapidly disappearing. It's zOS that should be trying to "play nice" now, and while they've made some progress, USS still seems to be far enough behind the curve to keep it from being a player. > -----Original Message----- > From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > David Boyes > Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 10:01 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] NJE functionality using a linux server? > > > > scp -q -i ~ken/.identity -B file remote:file > > What's so hard?
