For people like me, who need excruciating clarity, you're saying that the SERVER in the Co:Z product groks traditional datasets as well as USS files. Correct? Fantastic! That means one can use a variety of clients, specifically several which go via SSH. Is that also correct? You mention SFTP which is FTP-like behavior using SSH under the covers. Contrast with FTPS which is traditional FTP but with SSL/TLS added. I'm keen on the former because it uses a single channel. Though I much prefer a one-shot command in any case, and 'scp' does that (and runs via SSH like 'sftp'). Does the Co:Z server speak both SSH (for SFTP) and traditional FTP? -- R; <>< On 7/28/23 07:34, John S. Giltner, Jr. wrote: > I use sftp with Co:Z SFTP installed on the z/OS side.
