I haven't had much success with Emacs directly accessing mainframe
files. scp returns various errors.
z/OS can mount UNIX files with NFS but I haven't tried that either.
Instead I just ftp files back and forth. At first I thought that
might be a little slow but moving source files and listings back
and forth is pretty much instantaneous.
Other hints:
Use a .netrc
Write commands in Perl. Perl pipes to FTP are much easier
than C or shell.
