Dataset Hierarchy
SSH Tectia Server for IBM z/OS presents z/OS datasets as if they formed a hierarchy of directories
where the dataset name (DSN) qualifiers are the directory names.
The cd command can be used to change the DSN prefix. To use an
absolute DSN start the prefix with "//'" ("/__"). To use a
relative DSN, which will be completed with the username, start the prefix
with "//" ("/_"). If the "directory" name has a qualifier,
it needs to have a trailing dot.
For example, to change the working "directory" to //'USER1., use the command:
sftp> cd //'USER1. (cd /__USER1.)
/__USER1.
sftp>
|
If the user is connected as USER1, use the command:
sftp> cd // (cd /_)
/__USER1.
sftp>
|
Once working in a "directory" (//'USER1., for example) you can go
into a "subdirectory" by doing a cd to a qualifier:
sftp> cd TEST.
/__USER1.TEST.
sftp> ls -l
/__USER1.TEST.:
Z6SYS1 Jul 17 2006 VB 1024 27998 PS 50001 FILE
Z6SYS1 Jul 25 2006 VB 1024 27998 PS 50001 PS.FILE1
Z6SYS1 Jul 25 2006 VB 1024 27998 PS 50001 PS.FILE2
Z6SYS1 Jul 25 2006 VB 1024 27998 PS 50001 PS.FILE3
sftp> cd PS.
/__USER1.TEST.PS.
sftp> ls -l
/__USER1.TEST.PS.:
Z6SYS1 Jul 25 2006 VB 1024 27998 PS 50001 FILE1
Z6SYS1 Jul 25 2006 VB 1024 27998 PS 50001 FILE2
Z6SYS1 Jul 25 2006 VB 1024 27998 PS 50001 FILE3
sftp>
|
You can go "up" in the hierarchy with the "cd .." command:
sftp> cd ..
/__USER1.TEST.
sftp> ls
/__USER1.TEST.:
FILE*
PS.FILE1*
PS.FILE2*
PS.FILE3*
sftp> cd ..
/__USER1.
sftp>
|
The cd command can also be used for going into a PDS or PDSE dataset,
for example:
sftp> cd PDS
/__USER1.PDS
sftp> ls
/__USER1.PDS:
MEM1*
MEM2*
|
Note: When navigating in qualifiers, the qualifier name needs to have
a trailing dot. When doing cd to a dataset (PDS or PDSE), the dataset
name should not have a trailing dot.
Instead of using the cd command to change the directory one qualifier at a
time, the whole dataset name can be used, for example:
sftp> cd //'USER1.TEST.PS. (cd /__USER1.TEST.PS.)
/__USER1.TEST.PS.
