Mike,
Connect: Direct from Sterling Commerce meets most of your requirements.
It doesn't work with SFS, though. Transfers to VM can go to minidisk or
reader. Transfers from VM come from minidisk.

Subject: Best practices for z/VM file transfers?
We're (pretty urgently) looking for a replacement product for one which
just suffered hardware failure. It's unlikely that it can be
resurrected
- very old hardware.
Requirements:
- Batch file transfers between VM and z/OS (initiated either by a
VM:Batch
job or a z/OS batch job), performed by permission rather than passwords.
- Interactive file transfers, in the same manner (again, initiated by VM
users or TSO users, by permission rather than passwords).
- Transfer from VM to MVS must be to dataset (RACF authorized), or to
JES2
SPOOL (allowing class, forms, destination, etc.)
- Transfer to VM must be to a target user minidisk or SFS directory.
Can anyone recommend a good solution? If it's Linux-based, we're going
to
need a consultant: a Linux on zSeries proof of concept is scheduled to
begin in a couple weeks.
Happy New Year!
