Actually, there are several options for using SSH for transfer of datasets between z/OS and Linux:
-- the first two are just SFTP file transfer, and don't require Co:Z on Linux: 1) OpenSSH sftp client on Linux -> Co:Z SFTP server on z/OS 2) Co:Z SFTP client on z/OS -> OpenSSH sftp server on Linux -- the next is the one that John refers to: 3) Co:Z Target Toolkit on Linux -> Co:Z DatasetPipes on z/OS use the "fromdsn" and "todsn" shell commands on Linux to interactively pipe data to/from z/OS datasets over a ssh connection. If you know about OpenSSH Master/Slave sessions, you might be able to imagine some cool stuff here. -- finally, some fancier "z/OS Hybrid Batch" stuff: 4) Co:Z Launcher on z/OS -> Co:Z Target Toolkit on Linux Use a z/OS batch job step to run a shell script on Linux. From within the shell script, use fromdsn/todsn shell commands on Linux to "reach back" and access datasets or DDs in the original batch job step. In all (4) cases, OpenSSH is used on Linux and IBM Ported Tools OpenSSH is used on z/OS along with components from the Co:Z Toolkit. Also, you can easily substitute other *NIX platforms or even Windoze for "Linux".
