Fortunately (or unfortunately - Nobody bothered to let anyone know we had gotten the newer WS_FTP) and I was able to configure THAT one to binary transfer everything except .htm, .html, .txt and .xml files. Since I don't do JSP's I didn't include them but I probably should. Once I did that your suggestion of using ws_ftp worked like a champ. I know the FTP server does the translation, but I'll have, for instance, some PDF's and an HTML menus to access them, and it's all in the same directory. Manually I would have to move the text-for-translation files separately from the leave as binary files but ws_ftp clients produced AFTER man invented the wheel did the job of sorting that out nicely. Thanks for the help. -J "Evans, Kevin R" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <[email protected]> To [email protected] cc 06/01/2006 03:38 PM Subject Re: Looking for some 'alternatives' Please respond to Linux on 390 Port <[email protected]> I guess my point was that I believe that FrontPage Publish requires the FP extensions. Why can't you use BINARY uploads for the images and a regular FTP for the text files? We use the DOS based FTP.EXE work here for upload to z/OS (where the FTP server does the translation).

This of course id fatal for anything not an HTML or other text based format. I did publish the thing locally, but the very ancient version of ws_ftp we have here doesn't seem to have a method for saying what file extensions to translate and what not to. I suspect there's a table like that for z/OS ftp but I'm not the person who maintains it.

I know I could never get it to work from my home PC to my webpage provider, so I use WS_FTp to upload my webpages.

I am being 'blessed' with Microsfot Frontpage 2003 to use to do HTML stuff. (Officially Sanctioned tool here) I have to publish it to both a Linux instance and a z/OS image. The Linux instance will eventually live on an intel VM thing. Anyway.... The thing is, I can't get the blasted thing to publish via FTP to z/OS - it's trying to use the ftp:// web browser protocol instead of a real FTP session. if I tell it to try ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path it fails to detect the already created folder and then bitches about it cant find a server at '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. The fact that it is not seeing a folder that should be there tells me it never gets to the HFS and is not handling an internal error correctly. I have not yet tried to get it to talk to Linux but that looks like at the very least it's going to require Frontpage extensions or WebDav. Neither of which I think will fly. Way back in the day, I used FP 98 (again that's what was sanctioned, regardless of how lousy a product it is) back in the day, and that invoked a real FTP conversation irrespective of there being a web server involved. Is there any way to get FP 2003 to just DO what I want it to do? If not, is there an open source publishing solution I can run on Linux on intel? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
