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.
