Sorry, I should have been more thorough in my first message. >From my linux workstation, I can sftp all day. In zOS, I cannot establish an sftp session in what the zOS Ported Tools manual calls "interactive mode" under the uss shell. (sftp can not be executed under OMVS, according to the error message stating so when that attempt is made.) My question is simply how do I enter into this "interactive mode" with sftp (ssh) using the uss shell? I need to be prompted for a password under zOS as in Linux.
Note the differences in the debug log between my linux ws and zOS... LINUX ws: debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey,password debug3: preferred publickey,keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey debug3: remaining preferred: keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /home/bubbajoe/.ssh/id_rsa debug3: no such identity: /home/bubbajoe/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Trying private key: /home/bubbajoe/.ssh/id_dsa debug3: no such identity: /home/bubbajoe/.ssh/id_dsa debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method debug3: authmethod_lookup password debug3: remaining preferred: ,password debug3: authmethod_is_enabled password debug1: Next authentication method: password [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: (NOTE WE HAVE A PASSWORD PROMPT) zOS under USS shell: debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password. debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey,password. debug3: preferred publickey,keyboard-interactive,password. debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey. debug3: remaining preferred: keyboard-interactive,password. debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey. debug1: Next authentication method: publickey. debug1: Trying private key: /SSHROOT/jivey/.ssh/id_rsa. debug3: no such identity: /SSHROOT/jivey/.ssh/id_rsa. debug1: Trying private key: /SSHROOT/jivey/.ssh/id_dsa. debug3: no such identity: /SSHROOT/jivey/.ssh/id_dsa. debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method. debug3: authmethod_lookup password. debug3: remaining preferred: ,password. debug3: authmethod_is_enabled password. debug1: Next authentication method: password. debug3: packet_send2: adding 64 (len 52 padlen 12 extra_pad 64). debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply. debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password.

Permission denied (publickey).. Connection closed. NOTE WE DO NOT RECEIVE A PASSWORD PROMPT, yet it appears a password is being sent, hence no "interactive mode". How do I enter a password on zOS without it being interactive??
