Re: Copy Unix Files to MVS datasets
Customers send to "filename.tmp", once tranfer is complete they rename to "filename" so we only see the file after the transfer is complete. I was not invloved in the setup of the SSH FTP stuff, I don't know all of the details of exactly what we do. I know that once we see the file, we do a normal ftp to MVS file. I think he tried OCOPY but had problems. Josef Berger wrote: Hello John, Using FTPS is also may favored solution. Our problem is we have round about 750 unix servers which have SSH SFTP implemnted but not TLS Function. So the personal, who is responsible for the unix servers tends to use ssh. I've a question to your solution via CRON task. Did the task check the inbound directory and if found files put it via FTP to the mainframe ?. Assuming SFTP is writing a large file, the CRON task put the file via FTP to the mainframe. Is it possible that a incomplete file is copied by the CRON task, because the SFTP has not completed the transferre ?. Can you give me advice to find a sample of writing a CRON task ?

It is real FTP and support MVS datasets. We implmented SFTP and are now attempting to convert our last two customers to FTPS. I am sure there may be other ways, but we had to schedule a task via CRON to check the inbound directories every minute to see if a file came and and then kick of the processing. It is not pretty. Using FTPS you can use whatever you are using for normal FTP. In fact you can have the same server support both SSL and non-SSL FTP sessions or you can force it to only accecpt SSL'ed connections.
