    Hi guys,
    I would like to transfer files from UNIX machine to Mainframe system (using UNIX machine as client). The transfer process needs to be secure (i.e. data sent thro network should be encrypted using 128-bit encryption algorithm). I came to know that SFTP server is not available for Mainframe systems and hence using SFTP is not an option. Please let me know any other alternatives for the "Secured File Transfer to Mainframe system". Thanks!

    If ssh is installed on both machines, just use 'scp'. It works like the regular cp command in most regards, i.e. you can use scp -r to recursively copy files.

    For a single file:
    scp /localdir/filename hostname:/remotedir/filename

    or for multiple files:
    scp -r /local/dir/* hostname:/remote/dir/

    Hi, you can take a look at NDM (Network Data Mover). It is a secure solution but it’s very expensive and may be you cannot afford. Here is one another option that is called (www dot jscape dot com) JSCAPE Secure FTP Server.This is a platform independent managed file transfer server that supports FTP, secure FTP (FTP over SSL), SFTP/SSH, HTTP, HTTPS and WebDAV protocols. It greatly simplifies the process of securely exchanging data with trading partners and automation of file transfer processes, resulting in increased productivity and immediate return on investment.
    Hope this will help you!
    Good luck!
