How to sftp a file to a mainframe












0















This is my first time to sftp a file from linux to mainframe. I am using the following command.



/somedirectory>sftp PR0010@someserver
Connecting to someserver...
someuser@someuser's password:
sftp> put –a SOME.FILE.1111 –o “'SOME.FILE.1111(0)'”
sftp> ls


And though I manage to copy the file successfully to mainframe, however mainframe can't see it.



By the way, if I use FTP to do the transfer, its completely fine and can be seen by the mainframe.



Any help is much appreciated.



Thanks,

    sftp copies files via ssh, so likely the file ended up in your Unix System Services (USS) file system. Login with ssh to see where your home directory etc. is. The ftp server on the mainframe OTOH uses the "main" file systen.

  • Is the mainframe using the Co:Z sftp server from Dovetailed Technologies? There are specific options for GDGs in cozsftp.

  • What are the ftp clients your using? That will make a difference in the behaviour.

As SFTP works on the basis of KEY:VALUE pair, which should be required in both sender & receiver end, in your case sender(Linux) and Receiver(Mainframe).



As only your Linux system supports sftp & Mainframe not, I think you can not do a SFTP for PUT or GET a file to/from MainFrame.
