Dovetailed Technologies was sensible enough not to spam the mailing lists with their company propaganda. However, I don't work for them and I think this is worthwhile enough to tell everyone about. So, I will--Please don't hate me. Every week or so, people ask questions about doing SFTP on the Mainframe. This would be a good thing to pass up your chain of command if you've been trying to get SFTP going in your shop. Or if you simply want to learn more about how they do it.
I've been sorta following it, and it seems like they have a stable release where the SFTP will use the SSL certificates stored in RACF (Digital Certificates). Which makes adoption that much more enticing. Keep up the good work, Dovetailed!
