SFTP

I am trying to sftp a file from IBM Mainframe z/OS1.4 and file is unreadable. Is there a way of converting the file from EBCDIC to ASCII as the file is being transferred.

Thanks
Earl

If the server supports SFTP v4, select text (ascii) transfer mode.

If the file is a ascii or UTF8 encoded file, choose option binary and use iconv in omvs shell if you need to have it encoded as ebcdic.
