The key phrase is "Free for personal use". Unless Joe owns his own z/VM
system, he's working for an organization of some sort. The free version
is specifically not allowed for corporate or institutional use.
Educational and non-profit institutions are encouraged to contact the
vendor for "special pricing".

Pretty sure the basic package is free forever. From their website.
zFTPServer Suite Free covers basic FTP Server functionality with top
notch server performance, ease of use and reliability. Free for personal
use the zFTPServer Suite Free version will however have limitations in
the number of accounts and advanced functionality offered.

It's not free, you just get a 30 day trial.

You will need an FTP server running on your PC. I found an
excellent freebie at zftpserver.com it made life so much earier.

Subject: VM 5.4 first/second level installation
List Members,
I can use some expert advice as a first time installer
of z/VM. After reading the Guide for Automated Installation and Service,
I had decided on using the Second-Level DVD Installation method from VM
Minidisk. Although, after making a simple calculation, I realized that
it would take me about 80 hours to upload all the DVD files to the
First-Level minidisk. Given that my 3270 emulation program (Extra) does
not support file lists, I decided to abandon this idea.
Since we do not have an FTP server attached to our VM
systems I thought that a First-Level DVD Installation from the HMC would
make more sense. My goal would be to install first-level and then test
second-level. I am not certain as to whether or not this sounds
reasonable and if there is some who would provide some guidance as to
how this could be accomplished. Pointing out a manual reference would be
most helpful but any and all suggestions are welcomed.
