z/OS MVS team doesn't want to install NFS.

Here's another problem: We used to be able to view MVS data sets and members 
using the IBM web server. I think this is mod_mvsds?

Anyway, this only works with basic authentication. But basic authentication has 
been removed from the web browsers for security reasons, either by the web 
browser company or our corporate rules, or both.

What I've heard is that IBM has no solution.

How much of that would DSFS solve?  It should satisfy those assumptions.

Or, shift your paradigm; use NFS.  Otherwise, the problem is overspecified.
The requirement should not be "I want an FTP client ...", but "I want to
access traditional MVS data sets from my desktop."
