Hi Steve, The trick to using FileZilla to upload to z/OS OMVS is to do this in Site Manager: on the Advanced TAB set Server Type: UNIX with every thing else the same as your z/OS connection.
That works for me.

All, Trying this for the first time recently. I have been using Filezilla regularly for nearly a year but up till now it was only to FTP up and down files from Windows 11 to/from ZOS traditional datasets (Ascii & Bin) and all works fine there. I am now in the midst of installing Semeru Java 17 onto a ZOS 2.5 system where I need to upload the PAX file into Unix Sys Svcs from my Win 11 laptop filesystem. I've downloaded files from IBM website. My issue is as follows: 1. I launch Filezilla and connect via FTP (native FTP) to ZOS 3.1 LPAR using proper credentials to mainframe. 2. I then use the right hand side of navigator pane to navigate to Unix System Svcs target directory - in this case it is '/u/ts0sxe/Java17/. I set the xfer type to Binary. 3. I then drag/drop the Java 17 PAX file from left (Windows) navigation pane to right (ZOS) navigation pane. 4. The file xfer completes successfully according to Filezilla. All is wonderfull - right? Wrong... :-( I then login to ZOS 3.1 TSO/ISPF - goto 3.17 and my target directory ('/u/ts0sxe/Java17/) is empty. (I also tried a small text (ASCII) file as well- same result)... Am I doing something wrong or is this some sort of Filezilla restriction? If restriction, then can someone enlighten me on how you FTP upload a PAX file to Unix Sys Svcs or is there a different methodology folks here use that I am not considering?
