This is way too broad question. WinSCP does not support systems that do not use Unix-like path syntax. That definitely has nothing to do with the "server unexpectedly closed network connection" error.

Can you connect with any other SFTP/SCP client?

Given the multitude of different directory listing types on MVS I think support for it might be hard to implement. Most IBM systems have a Unix partition though and it usually runs a standard FTP server which should be compatible with Winscp.

When I worked on mainframe a couple years back, I used Total Commander for connection to the MVS FTP server, since it allows for custom server types, where you can define how the data is returned and interpreted by the client. But I don't need to do this any more - thank god ;)

WinSCP does not support IBM Mainframe, at least not with FTP.

Do you believe that SFTP should work on your server?

more testing

2013-11-18 21:25

I was doing more tests and I noticed in the log that under WS_FTP it does a CWD 'directory_name' but under WINSCP it does a CWD / 'directory_name' / 'directory_name'
.
So it appears that is adds a '/' between the CWD and the directory
Is this a config setup issue ?
Thanks

We are trying to get a file from an IBM MVS server

2013-11-18 20:57

In the past we have been using WS_FTP to get our files from an IBM MVS server to Windows and it worked good .
Now we are trying to do the same but using WINSCP .. but now we never see the files on the IBM MVS server when using the FTP protocol . We also tried using the SFTP protocol , but the login fails when using SFTP
.
Any special setup we need to do to ge able to get MVS files ?
.
Thanks
