Replying to two questions from this thread. This may read like an ad but at
this point I have zero financial interest in either of these solutions.
With regard to IND$FILE auditing, I wrote a product that did exactly that:
intercepted IND$FILE requests and wrote all the details to SMF. At
ke use of some form of SNA over
IP technology, where possible, such as z/OS Enterprise Extender.

Hi Lennie,
- It is SAF enabled for authorization and access.
- It can log SMF records.
- It keeps a log on the mainframe of data transfers.
- On the web administration site, it list each transfer by date, time, user,
file, and size.
- It does not run APF authorized but requires an SVC to be
We use Rocket’s Terminal Emulation product (formerly Bluezone). It uses
FTP for transfers with TLS via AT-TLS. We have IND$FILE disabled in the
product.

Hi Binyamin,
The terminal emulator users are our main target. The FastSSR client can easily
be launched from a user-defined button within all major emulators.
Thanks,

Hi Michael,
From OS390 to wherever the Windows PC client is running. I do understand that
FTP, TSO XMIT, and other technologies exist. What I'm trying to replace is the
IND$FILE transfers most terminal emulator users are using. If you visit my
website, you will see we are developing another

Hi Tom,
As of right now, it's not a started task but is a separate job that runs on the
mainframe. Port 443 is used by FastSSR to communicate with REST services
running in our host (which can be installed on-premise). The actual transfer
occurs over random port numbers within a port range you

No, that's not a requirement. You already have at least two other options:
1. You can use Enterprise Extender (SNA protocols such as LU 6.2 over UDP).

To do LU6.2 outside the machine don't you need an OSA card setup as
OSA-E for SNA? Unless I read it wrong, IBM has a statement of direction
that z16 will be the last to support OSA-E.
For IND$FILE, check the terminal emulator and see if there's an option
to increase the I/O block size used
also had home grown utility programs for the conversion on each
end.

Looks interesting!
Since you didn't mention things like SFTP/FTP/TSO/CICS as requirements, and the
doc mentioned port 443, can I assume the product requires a started task
listening on the mainframe side? Just asking because
