Love to use SCP but to my knowledge, it only sends to the OMVS side. Here is the code with the names changed: HOST=nih USER=me PASS=password ftp -inv $HOST << EOF user $USER $PASS put something bye EOF and here is the error message. Connected to nih (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). 220-FTPD1 IBM FTP CS V1R13 at nih, 12:03:54 on 2013-08-30. 220 Connection will close if idle for more than 1440 minutes. Remote system type is MVS. (username) 331 Send password please. 530 new passwords are not the same Login failed. I know the password is correct. I don't know what it is doing/complaining about when it says the new password is not the same. Anybody know how to do this?
