Gerard, These two sysplexes are physically separate from each other, like two separate datacenters or two separate customer environments ... correct? Are these two sysplexes connected via TCP/IP Intranet/Internet? If so, have you thought about just simply using FTP mainframe to mainframe? Secure, easy to use (within the limitations/capabilities of FTP, of course).
Alternatively, is there a JES2/NJE connection between the sysplexes? In that case, TSO TRANSMIT and RECEIVE come to mind as simple, no cost file transfer methods. Within limits, of course, but suitable for small-fry type simple transfers.

Looking further DFS/SMB and NFS both seem to be options. Has anyone had some experience with both?, are there data size limits within either ?. What would be the simplest to mange ?.
