SSH

Running Client Programs

Under USS
Under MVS

Tectia Server for IBM z/OS contains three client-side applications:

The ssh-broker-g3 component handles all cryptographic operations and authentication-related tasks for the sshg3, scpg3, and sftpg3 client programs. Normally, the Connection Broker starts in the background automatically whenever one of the Tectia client programs is started, and stops when the client program is stopped.

It is also possible to start the Connection Broker separately from the USS command line or by using a started task under MVS. This way all Tectia client programs run by the user will use the same instance of ssh-broker-g3. See Running Connection Broker for instructions.

The ssh-socks-proxy component is used for transparent FTP tunneling and FTP-SFTP conversion. For more information on the Tectia SOCKS Proxy, see Tectia Server for IBM z/OS Administrator Manual.
