Hello,
we currently use ftp and looking for a secure ftp solution. Dataset Pipes looks very interesting alternative for us. Please can you tell us, if Dataset Pipes
supports commands to delete ore rename Datasets ?
Best regards,
Jose
support of delete rename function in Dataset Pipes ?
dspipes doesn't support deletes or renames but you can use ssh to remote execute a Unix command or shell script to delete or rename a dataset. A couple of ideas for doing this from Unix shell commands are:
1) the "tso" shell command lets you issue TSO commands
2) you can write shell scripts in REXX
Let us know if you need more help or examples.

Do you want to delete/rename z/OS datasets or files on the remote system? If it is a z/OS dataset, then use normal methods such a TSO, IDCAMS, or JCL for some examples. If the files are on the remove server, look at the free Co:Z which can execute commands such as "rm" or "mv" on the remote server.
I just tested a Co:Z which used fromdsn to copy data to a Linux/Intel system, then invoke a Linux shell script which processes that data, loading it into a database. Worked like a charm. I had done this previously by using NFS to transfer the data, followed by a z/OS UNIX shell which invoked ssh to run the script. Co:Z is easier to understand and significantly faster in moving the data! NFS is a dog!! An old, lazy dog!
