Connect:Direct does not require VTAM if you have TCP/IP, and it does work well with SFS.

It does work with SFS to and from SFS. See setting up the CDVMSFS machine and use SFSDIR in your copy statements. Yes, it does require VSAM. ISPF and VTAM too. And the Secure+ version of it is not supported on VM. Sigh. Marcy Cortes "This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

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.

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!
