As an ISV's employee, I was delighted with NFS. It made desktop
filesystems visible on z/OS and Classic data sets visible on desktops.
All very transparent; no need for transfer; up/download. Some
filesystems were mounted at two mountpoints binary and text
with CP819<->CP1047 mapping, making it possible to cross-compile
on desktop and bind to load modules on z/OS; again no explicit transfers.
I'm surprised that NFS isn't more widely embraced. Security concerns?
I configured DFS/SMB which is more or less z/OS in Windows domain - you
can map network drive and the drive is z/OS HFS or even datasets
(HLQ.SLQ... level)
I really liked to watch mainframe folks when I edited VSAM KSDS using
...Notepad. With EBCDIC-ASCII conversion and polish codepages support.
Several options of security were available: RACF, Windows Active
Directory and some mix.
Unfortunately it wasn't accepted (mainframe "could break Windows
security") and finally IBM announced end of the feature.
Regarding NFS - many years ago I heard a lot of bad opinions about its
security flaws. I cannot comment it, maybe it wasn't so bad, maybe it
was fixed.
