AH! From what I understand, "sftp" on z/OS is ported directly from the OpenSSH stuff. That is, it is 100% pure UNIX. UNIX does not have RDWs and so the "sftp" server on MVS doesn't understand it. If he must use "sftp" to get the data, what I'd suggest is a "two step". 1) Unload to an MVS dataset as done at present. 2) On z/OS, "ftp" to "127.0.0.1" and put the data as a file on an HFS. Use the SITE RDW to do this transfer. There is no security issue because nothing "hits the wire". 3) "sftp" from the HFS file to the receiving host. I am fairly certain that attempting to use "sftp" from the MVS dataset will never work, if RDWs must be transferred. Two different ftp servers entirely. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
