Filezilla works quite well for me. Give it a try: Just define two sites in the Filezilla Sitemanager for the host: one called "host-A-DSN" with Filezilla - Advanced - Servertype = "MVS, OS/390, z/OS" and another called "host-A-USS" with Filezilla - Advanced - Servertype = "Unix"
I don't know about any SITE commands that make MVS look like a UNIX server. Maybe you are referring to DSFS which came out in 2.5 https://community.ibm.com/community/user/ibmz-and-linuxone/blogs/sahgal-rachit/2022/01/17/data-set-file-system There are some MVS SITE Subcommands that set how the dataset qualifier levels are treated in the FTP client: DIrectorymode Specifies that only the data set qualifier immediately below the current directory is treated as an entry in the directory. In directory mode, this qualifier is the only one used by the MPUT, MGET, LS, and DIR subcommands. DATASetmode Specifies that all the data set qualifiers below the current directory are treated as entries in the directory (disables DIRECTORYMODE). These correspond to the entries in the FTPDATA (server) TCPPARMS member DIRECTORYMODE parm here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=protocol-directorymode-ftp-client-server-statement Hope this helps The one thing that bugs me about Filezilla is how easy it is to click with the mouse and start a file transfer that may not be intended. Wish I could disable that.

How does it play with DSFS? (Who uses DSFS?) And the MVS FTP client doesn't understand LCD. After "lcd somewhere" the "! pwd" command shows the directory from which the ftp client was entered. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
