Hi, ITschak, I see that you've gotten past your problem with the scp command. First, as Marcy said, asking questions like this that are specific to Linux, the Linux-390 mailing list is more likely to get you a good, correct, answer more quickly. Now, let me try and clear up what might be the cause of much confusion. I certainly know I find it a problem to fully understand, sometimes. With the introduction of SLES15, the layout of the repositories on the SUSE download systems changed drastically. As a result, the installation changed somewhat, also. Previously, selecting the "Minimal" and "Base" installation patters would provide you with a fairly functional system. That's no longer the case. This was largely driven by the embedded systems market, but there were other influences as well. When you're doing a manual install now, when you get to the "Available Extensions and Modules" screen, you're going to want to make sure the following are selected: Basesystem Module Server Applications Module* *Since you're doing this on IBM Z, I have to assume you're doing a server install and not a desktop type installation. This is where you would have found the vsftpd server package which does support FTPS. That's where you'll find the various applications you typically want on a server: Apache Bind DHCP Kerberos MariaDB etc. Depending on what the intended use of the system, there are also packages in the Desktop Applications Module you may want. That's less likely, but as always It Depends. There is also the Development Tools Module if you want to compile stuff, run a source version control system such as cvs, git, subversion, read crash dumps, etc. If you want access to packages that are not included in SLES, and will not invalidate your support status, there's the SUSE Package Hub. The packages included there come from openSUSE, built against SLES libraries, and have no support from SUSE. But, as I stated, installing something from there will not break your support from SUSE (or IBM, or ...). One of the problems with this scheme is that if you want just one package from any of these other repositories/modules, and you select that from the Available Extensions and Modules screen, by default you get a number of packages from each one you select. So, you'll want to be sure to check and perhaps modify the Software list from the Installation Settings screen. There are other things listed there. The Installation Quick Start document from https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP1/ can tell you more. The whole document is only 31 pages long including the table of contents, and legal stuff, so it's not very long.
