If you are using Co:Z SFTP (client or server with IBM z/OS OpenSSH), then the 
syntax is:

//hlq.my.dsn 

It also supports:

/-/hlq.my.dsn  

since some sftp clients (like Filezilla) don't properly support paths that 
contain two slashes in a row.

In the above, you can also use "/" in place of periods in dsname levels.
