WinSCP is an open source free SFTP client and FTP client for Windows.


If this is the object You are talking about then browsing the url should give
You all the info You asked for.

I am not sure about the SCP protocol, but on the mainframe side I guess You have to use SFTP or FTP

for mainframe initiated FTP/SFTP operations, the mainframe acts as a "CLIENT"

So.. on the other side, irrelevant of the operating system, there must be
a ftp/sftp server running.

it always an unreliable procedure to act as a client of something
which does not have the "ENVIRONMENTAL" characteristic of a MAINFRAME,

A windows server might classify as such,
any unix/unix-like .. the same

a personal workstation, desktop, call it any name You like,
does not classify as a reliable server for file transfers
( not 24*7 operations )
