I've been using WS_FTP Pro between Windows XP and "conventional" z/OS
datasets for some time now with no problems.
I just tried to access some OMVS files and they are displaying very
strangely in WS_FTP. If I leave the filter blank, then all directories
and
files have access permissions (you know, strings like drwxr-xr-x)
displayed
instead of their names. If I set the filter to *, then the names are
displayed but folders are listed as binary files with a colon appended to
their names (e.g., a folder named source is displayed as a binary file
named
source: ) and the cd command no longer works. I can't find a relevant
option. Has anyone else seen this? What am I doing wrong?
Is the host type set to automatic or unix? If set to automatic, try unix.
BTW, have they fixed the problem for PDS stats when the member name
is less than 6 characters? I am stuck with V7.04 on my employer's
machine.
WS_FTP_LE has the same problem.
One of the many reasons I ditched WS-FTP-Amateur and went to BlueZone. It
has no problemos with the z/OS HFS or zFS filesystems. Gotta love when a
free product kicks a pay products butt.
