Kirk's wisdom and the doc he references are OUTSTANDING. Co:Z SFTP is something you absolutely need if you want to use SFTP to access z/OS datasets.
Be aware you will have to learn a few new tricks with the Co:Z SFTP server from the client side unless you are happy with only binary transfers. And neither FileZilla or WinSCP provide an escape value to issue the necessary commands to switch from binary to text. Lionel B.

When you install a new version of z/OS you will get a new version. There are often migration actions from IBM having to do with /etc/ssh configuration settings. When moving releases you would at minimum want to review any changes that you made from the IBM /samples and the new /samples and merge those as appropriate.
