And you may consider file transfer over MQ, of course.

I agree. I wish that IBM had supplied their patches to OpenSSH so that
others could look at extending sftp to legacy datasets. I will also mention
that Dovetailed Technologies Co:Z can do "file transfers" over OpenSSH which
will access (read/write) legacy datasets. It is not sftp, but it is over an
SSH encrypted channel.
