If you want to spend some money, Tectia makes an SSH server for zOS. It has the advantage that it handles MVS datasets ('legacy') directly. It also, if you want spend even more money, has a key manager product so if you have a large SSH population (mushroom farm of *ix machines in little boxes) you can manage the keys reasonably effectively.

It is freely licensed. http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/features/unix/ported/openssh/ . This is the only SSH server that I am aware of for z/OS. In addition, I would _strongly_ suggest that you download and install the freely licensed Co:Z toolkit from Dovetailed Software. It contains a number of extremely nice features. It also builds on OpenSSH to allow sftp (not ftps, that's different) to access z/OS legacy data sets and the JES SPOOL. The sftp which comes with OpenSSH only supports access to z/OS UNIX files.
