Re: “I can't imagine such space being a problem nowadays”: You would be surprised. Installations with long-neglected z/OS Unix environments can be extraordinarily parsimonious about personal Unix file space allotments (if they even exist outside of the sysprog team and maybe the security team).
Re: “. . . need the authority to move files from PC to mainframe”: Is it possible to block upload-to-mainframe access paths? Surely, but a blanket blocking for all users seems to me to be way more paranoid than most corporate security teams I have encountered, so I suspect not widely done. In my experience, programmers tend to generally be seen to be trusted (but verified and logged just in case).
