<----- snip -----> >C:\>FTP 12.34.56.78 [or whatever your mainframe's IP address or URL is]
Host name, not URL. FTP will not be able to parse a URL. <----- snip -----> I am not sure if I have tried FTP with URL instead of host name, but linux FTP clients (ftp, lftp, ncftp), default Windows 2000 FTP, and z/OS 1.7 FTP allow the use of URLs ( just checked again the last two). In Windows "H:\>ftp 192.168.243.49" and in z/OS "TSO FTP 192.168.243.49" both establish a connection. Help / man page states "host" and not "host name".
