unfortunately Ed, Blue Diamond is a GUI only, a browser interface, I still have to TERSE and move the data to my PC before I use this interface. when I get a dump or have to send IBM logs or such, it's a process, and one I've had to deal with since we are no longer allowed any ftp or sftp access to any vendor from the mainframe. so far they still allow https to get to shopz and service link

Carmen, SFTP is great for manual upload/download, but not so great for a batch job. There is a "trick" for defeating the prompt using the SSH_ASKPASS X11 stuff, but generally speaking it's an interactive protocol only. Is that how you use it with Blue Diamond? Their ordinary support page https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/739631 shows "ordinary" SFTP addresses to be: Americas testcase.boulder.ibm.com (170.225.15.31) Asia sftp.ap.ecurep.ibm.com (169.56.38.162, 169.56.38.163) Europe sftp.ecurep.ibm.com (192.109.81.25) Blue Diamond requires sign-up to use. I could give it a try and see if they allow any customer to use it. But, I'm pretty sure it's not necessary for me. I see there are other protocols offered as well: HTTPS, FTPS, the use of utilities under Java or z/OS, etc. Tryna find the one most people use for batch jobs...
