MVS compression that unix can uncompress
Dear all,
I have been given the opportunity at the last minute to help on a project. There is a need to move some very large files from an MVS machine to an AIX one. The servers are remote with (I think) a 2Meg network pipe between them. The people on the project have been moving small amounts of data and proving that their export/FTP/import works, but they never considered elapse time for the full sized data transfer.
Consequently our window of a weekend to move the data is nowhere near long enough because of the network bottleneck. Would anyone know of a compression tool that runs on MVS that produces files that could be read back by normal unix tools i.e.
uncompress or
gunzip
I love it when it's suddenly my fault when the FTP is too slow.
Someone looking after the MVS end is considering PKZip but there is then product to install & licence on AIX too. As the MVS support is outsourced, I'm having trouble finding out who is looking at that, but presumably it's from PKWare.com
I considered PGP as part of the encryption process compresses the data, but I'm struggling to find a source for the MVS tool.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks, in advance,

curlopt_resume_from
CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM - set a point to resume transfer from
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM, long from);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long as parameter. It contains the offset in number of bytes that you want the transfer to start from. Set this option to 0 to make
the transfer start from the beginning (effectively disabling resume). For FTP, set this option to -1 to make the transfer start from the
end of the target file (useful to continue an interrupted upload).
When doing uploads with FTP, the resume position is where in the local/source file libcurl should try to resume the upload from and it will
then append the source file to the remote target file.
If you need to resume a transfer beyond the 2GB limit, use CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE(3) instead.
DEFAULT
0, not used
PROTOCOLS
HTTP, FTP, SFTP, FILE
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com");
/* resume upload at byte index 200 */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM, 200L);
/* ask for upload */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1L);
/* set total data amount to expect */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, size_of_file);
/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY
Always
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK
