Seagull (aka Blue Zone FTP) .. no longer supported but I think it's the best 
and still works on Windows 10
Also recommend FileZilla.

Best Regards

Subject: Good FTP client for MVS data set access

Caution! External email. Do not open attachments or click links, unless this

What FTP client do you use to access MVS data sets?  Do you like it?

I personally use the FTP Client that is part of Micro Focus (formerly 
Attachmate) Reflection Desktop for IBM (Reflection Workspace).  Being an 
application suite dedicated to mainframe access (the application is primarily a 
TN3270 client), the FTP Client that goes along with it seems to truly 
understand the idiosyncrasies of MVS and works quite well with it.

On the other hand, only a limited number of users in our shop are "authorized" 
to use Reflection, so they cannot use its FTP client.  They are stuck 
(currently) with an MVS hostile (IMO) application called CuteFTP.

Are there any good "freestanding" FTP GUI applications that are "MVS friendly"?
