My way out of this problem was given by our Network/Cyber securiity people. They don't want any clear-text FTP. It must be encrypted so I gave the web content managers a copy of WinSCP, told them to save all the html as local files and use WinSCP to upload them to our Linux system. I am not sure if the z/OS implementation of SSHD will work with WinSCP, but we don't have to upload to z/OS.
