SFTP between AIX to Mainframe
Hello Group, We have some FTP job enabled b/w AIX to MF and now we have requirement to convert them into SFTP. But as AIX is ascii and MF is EBCDIC system. How this transfer will work. Also, currently FTP process use ascii mode to transfer data and SFTP is available only with binary mode how this whole process will work . Can you please help. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Or, use ssh which does the translation: cat AIX.file | ssh zOS "cat >z/OS.file" Or: cat AIX.file | ssh zOS "iconv -f ISO8859-1 -t IBM-1047 >z/OS.file" (And once you set up the ssh keys, you needn't send a password.) If you replace "cat" with "pax", you can transmit a whole directory hirearchy. -- gil -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: SFTP between AIX to Mainframe
Or, if the requirement is not for SFTP specifically but to encrypt the connection, then switch to FTPS. Please note that encryption is (almost always) a necessary ingredient to achieve a desired security outcome, but it is rarely sufficient. This data movement might even be fundamentally incompatible with the desired security outcome.
