I use Steve's stage for Xagent purposes (to obtain a daily update of the extended dircat extract used by the IBM GNA sendmail relays). It is also still on the internal VMTOOLS respository. I'll check with Steve to see if it was ever made available externally. Although I don't use it, it does seem to have the capability to accept certain FTP commands on the seconday input stream. -- bc

I installed my z/VM 5.2 using a FTP image that I stored on a Linux (or was it FreeBSD?) server. When I say installed, I should add that I had to hack the REXX code obfuscated in the filter package to make it work (if you look into the module you'll soon find an entry point table; it is trivial to extract the REXX programs from that). Whoever wrote that code has not read RFC 959; or if read, certainly not understood. I sent the hacked stages back to the lady who so kindly had provided me with the image file. For all I know she tossed them. I have heard no reports of improvement in those stages since then. ---- Steve Hayes wrote a FTP client stage some ten years ago; I do not know whether it is floating around anywhere. ---- I beleive Romney's FTP subcommand processor is available from the download page; I had to add code to CMS/COMMAND to tolerate it at some point. j.
