The hosts native network stack is SNA (or, more precisely "a SNA-based protocol stack"), though. Ones uses LU2-connections to transfer data in this environment.

So, you first need to determine if your hosts still talks over SNA to others. You need some complex machinery including a 3745 frontend-processor and a 3174-compatible cluster controller or a virtualised replacement for the latter (SNA gateway software usually acts as a 3174 with its own NCP to the host) to do so. Many companies have therefore cut their SNA networks and work exclusively over TCP/IP.

If your host uses TCP/IP you should stay away from FTP at all costs: use scp or (preferably) rsync which is both available for z/OS. These tools will save you perhaps days and weeks of shell-programming efforts because whatever you can come up with they do: out of the box and perhaps better.

I hope this helps.

Thanks bakunin.., for taking your time and sharing your point.

But I am still not sure what is SNA, how to get if we have SNA.
Cant I just write a script to NDM the files from AIX to Mainframe server?

Sorry these questions might be silly., i totally don't know what NDM is.
