Re: advise on a simple REXX script to automate FTP from zVM to Linux server
Hi Can anyone advise or has a ready zVM REXX script (zVM 5.4) that will ftp a file from zVM to linux (or unix)? Is it using VMFTP? A simple one will do ... will try to automate it afterwards. Many thanks in advance.

Re: advise on a simple REXX script to automate FTP from zVM to Linux server
Agree -- that way you can have the same code run against different hosts, etc and be separated from the userid/pw pair to use. And updating a NETRC DATA file through automation is much easier than updating an EXEC - if you need a way to keep up with pw changes. It's really not any more secure, though.. it's still readable text in a file. Just better separation of code from 'data'.

(cough) The security exposure and subsequent audit failure is the same, whether you have a clear-text password in an EXEC or a NETRC file. In either case, the password should be in clear-text only in flight, not at rest. While at rest it should be encrypted (preferred), hashed, or otherwise obscured. This is why user certficate support for Secure FTP is needed. Then you won't need a password (unless the other end requires 2-factor authentication). Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott

That's why SCP is more widely used than SFTP; certificate management is a enormous pain. ssh has certificate management issues, too. But I agree that central administration of certificates would be a Good Thing. We won't go into the cost and extortion involved in getting external assurance for CA identities. Dude. If you want *assurances* about identities, it isn't free. No one said otherwise. Who issues your certificates for ssh? Oh. You generate them *yourself* and ask the server admin to install your public key (or via other key management mechanism)? I'm not impressed. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
JES to RSCS LPR printer
Is it possible to route JES output to an LPR printer defined to RSCS? The LPR printer works great in RSCS, but can't for the life of me make it work with IP Printway in z/OS. I already have RSCS and JES connected, I currently use it to send output to my VM userid, and then print it from my VM userid to the RSCS printer. I would just like to remove the step of logging in to VM and printing. Thanks for any assistance. -- Mark Pace Mainline Information Systems 1700 Summit Lake Drive Tallahassee, FL. 32317
Re: advise on a simple REXX script to automate FTP from zVM to Linux server
Hi, Mark. In addition to the many excellent suggestions you've already received, you might also want to consider using the CMS Pipeline FTP stage. A very simple example of its use is: PIPE test file a | ftp use...@host.domain/test.file It also supports using an FTP proxy server,as well. You can find it here: http://vm.marist.edu/~pipeline/ftp.rexx Have a good one.

Re: JES to RSCS LPR printer
For some VSE output, we send from POWER to a service virtual machine that uses the form number as printer number, receives it, does some manipulation then sends it off to the printer. But for those that don't require 'adjustment' we send directly to the RSCS printer. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Mark Pace Sent: January 14, 2010 13:19 To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: JES to RSCS LPR printer Is it possible to route JES output to an LPR printer defined to RSCS?

Re: JES to RSCS LPR printer
Mark, We do it all the time. Just define a DESTID in JES and route to the node name of the RSCS queue for the LPR. Works great.
