We have no mainframe access to the internet. We have browser-only access to the internet from our desktop. To FTP to/from the internet we must use a PC with no access from our LAN, sneaker-netting between that PC and a LAN-attached PC that can FTP to/from MVS. Using a browser-based FTP eliminates the sneaker-net step but still makes it a 2-step process. This is all in the name of security. This, of course, inspires people to try to break the security system just so they can do their job. And it makes doing our job a royal pain.
