Enable sftp to work with z/OS datasets and with Text data

With the introduction of DSFS it is now very possible for users to use sftp to access z/OS datasets however since sftp only supports binary transfers that precludes using sftp for source code or data. Enabling sftp to access z/OS datasets directly...

Upgrade LibreSSL version to latest under z/OS 3.1 is possible.

As seen via the ssh -V command => OpenSSH_8.4p1, LibreSSL 3.0.2 This version of LibreSSL is not compatible with the latest OpenSSL 3.0 that was installed on an AIX server and that broke an existing CICS application's TCPIP socket connection to ...

Mixedcase option

The Open Source UNIX standard is to use case sensitivity. However, it would improve z/OS OpenSSH usability if group names were treated without case sensitivity (similar to how user names are treated) when processing directives such as AllowGroups ...
