Hello David,

In our shop, we are not allowed to install Ubuntu or any other except
windows7, which is currently installed on our work station. Can you help me
with any other option to test this sftp with mainframe from my work station.

Ubuntu comes packaged as a component with Windows 10 so you don't have to install anything. But since you're Windows 7 it's a moot point.

WinSCP and PuTTY are both excellent options. It comes down to what you prefer to use, a GUI or the command line. IIRC, you can script and use the command line with WinSCP but I haven't tried it. I use PuTTY as the SSH client for z/OS Unix shells so that would be my personal choice. Try both and see what you prefer.

If you're running Windows 10 you can install Ubuntu Linux subsystem with a
real bash shell and run sftp from the command line. That's what I do. It's
great! No need for hypervisors like HyperV, VirtualBox etc.

Thank you all for your response.

So, my understanding after reading your comments on testing SFTP is to
download Winscp client on my windows system and use this to transfer file
between z/OS host ( SFTP configured ) and my windows system.

Please correct me, if I am missing anything.

Also, I believe there is no constraint of transferring omvs and z/OS
dataset files to window system and vice versa using WINSCP client.

Any specific setup do we need on Winscp client to use only SFTP for this
transfer between mainframe system.

SSH SFTP and FTP/S are both valid standards. SSH SFTP is more popular
because it already included and configured on all Unix/Linux
distributions.
    Both protocols are included in z/OS.

Co:Z SFTP works with IBM z/OS OpenSSH to add support for data sets,
codepage and format conversions, spool files, etc.

That's good to know, cheers! I rarely use it with a properly configured
FTP/S being more useful imo. But the sftp is handy for binary transfers
especially when FTP/S isn't configured.

Can you give an example of when SFTP is more useful for
sending/receiving
files to/from a Linux system?

I can't speak for Dovetailed but I believe most of their customers have
a
standard in place where sftp is the defacto for file transfers.

I believe only binary transfers are  possible with these, you'll have
to
character convert separately.

But it'll be sufficient to test your implementation.

Hello,

We are doing sftp implementation but I am not able to find way to test
this
scenarios. For ftp, i can test using window cmd prompt and try
transferring
files from mainframe to local system.

But how do I test this new sftp. Also wanted to check that if we have

any
constraint on sftp that only once files can be used for sftp not the
z/os
files.
Please help
