Title: Secure File Transfer for Mainframe systems
Post by Pete Finnigan on Jan 22^nd, 2008, 8:53am

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!

Hi,

I have moved this post to here as its more relevant here than off-topic. I am sorry I dont know the options for mainframes as I specialise in Oracle database security and dont tend to get involved with mainframes.

cheers

Pete

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 ****** 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!

I have removed the link above as this is almost certainly spam. The original poster and this reply are on the same IP address and this same post is found on hundreds of other forum posts in google (see http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=jscape+mainframe.

Interestingly the software quoted doesnt mention supporting mainframes.

I will leave this here to help any other forum admin who suspects a similar post.
