Yes - no problems. As noted earlier connecting has not been an issue as

The NFS and SSHFS both appear to be working but as noted in my last
missive - the text files as viewed through the SSHFS connection are screwed
up. The NFS ones on the other hand are fine.


IBM i NFS does EBCDIC translation. sshfs does no translation, all data is
treated as binary.

You just have to be set up on the Mac to deal with EBCDIC. Use jEdit !!!!!!
As shown in this screenshot

Or you have to deal with it on the IFS side, e.g., (GNU - get it with yum)
iconv -f IBM037 -t ISO8859-1 myfile.ebcdic >myfile.ascii
