Yes, but not with SFS syntax.
First you have to follow the setup instructions in "z/VM V5R3.0 TCP/IP Pl
anning and
Customization":
In order for FTP clients to access files and directories in the Byte File
System (BFS), the FTP server
must be defined as a POSIX "superuser." To allow this capability, the fol
lowing statement must be
included in the CP directory:
POSIXINFO UID 0 GID 0
See z/VM: OpenExtensions User's Guide and z/VM: CP Planning and Administr
ation for more
information about configuring the FTP server in this manner.
Second you have to use the correct syntax in "z/VM V5R3.0 TCP/IP User's G
uide":
CD /../VMBFS:VMSYSY:LNXUDB/path/
GET file.name
etc.
The /../VMBFS: is a constant!
