GPG armored SSH Public Key

[LeonBylsma]

Good day again.

This post do not involve COZSFTP directly but if you have any possible answers I will truly appreciate it.

We do use COZSFTP for all our transfers to and from our mainframes (Zos). We now have a client that we need to send files to that requires us to send them our mainframe public key in GPG Armored format. I have found some info on the net but after a number of unsuccessful attempts to produce a suitable key for them decided to see if you possibly have any suggestions for me.

Thanks and regards

Leon

Leon,

I am not clear with what the requirements are -

Will your z/OS host be the SFTP client or the server?

If your z/OS host is the client, then they would need your user public key and you would need their host public key

If your z/OS host is the server, then they would need your host public key and you would need their user public key.

In neither case will you need to exchange private keys. In both cases the parties will need to verify that they have the correct public key.

OK ... I think let's just drop this query (I knew the question was fairly vague as I did not have enough info at hand)

I had a chat to the customer and convinced them to use a different application for SSH FTP so we don't need this anymore

Thanks in any case for your continued good support
