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!

are you needing to do this manually, or does this need to be a script that runs automatically?

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 *snip* 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!

You are both the same person, this is an advert disguised as content. Please don't spam the forums as we'll have to delete your posts and/or ban you. We don't like doing that. Smiling

Anyone finding this thread, should just use scp or if you need to keep files synchronised across multiple machines use rsync. My only caveat is: am not sure of the easy availability of these on Unix systems, you may have to compile them yourself. Smiling
