Add API REST upload-dir-to-pds to RSE API

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Hi,

It would be useful to have an API REST in RSE API which allows us to upload a directory to a PDS. This functionality has been implemented for rse-api-for-zowe-cli but it does not exist in the Java SDK. For now, we have to launch several commands to upload all files in a directory.

Thank you.

    If the input is expected as a local directory, then RSEAPI as a REST API that may not support the directory format for a request body content. Could you please specify what is the standard REST request body content format you would expect for this request to transfer the directory files?

    For some background, rse-api-for-zowe-cli reference is not a pure REST API interface. It could construct multi-step calls involving local file/directory exploration and corresponding of REST API calls to upload files one-by-one to achieve this "dir-to-pds" requirement. So, this might not be supported if the request body content is in a directory format.

    Hi,

    "dir" is a local folder in the computer where the command was launched.

    Regards.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us.

    The development team wanted to clarify if the source "dir" location in "dir-to-pds" is local (caller location such as on desktop) or is it z/OS USS director on the VM?
