We have a server that has a client connecting to using sftp to get a

for security reasons, I understand this, doing this however requires
that changes be made on the mainframe which the mainframe folks are
hesistant to do. Or making changes on the server which I'm
hesistant to do as it's only this client that is using sftp.

Am I correct in my understanding that sftp will work with the group
writable bit set on the directory? The only people in the group that
they are concerned about is them and the mainframe account.

No, it is only extensible in the later stages.
