Re: Setup Filezila for MF to PC transfers
Filezilla works quite well for me. Give it a try: Just define two sites in the Filezilla Sitemanager for the host: one called "host-A-DSN" with Filezilla - Advanced - Servertype = "MVS, OS/390, z/OS" and another called "host-A-USS" with Filezilla - Advanced - Servertype = "Unix" I don't know about any SITE commands that make MVS look like a UNIX server. Maybe you are referring to DSFS which came out in 2.5 https://community.ibm.com/community/user/ibmz-and-linuxone/blogs/sahgal-rachit/2022/01/17/data-set-file-system There are some MVS SITE Subcommands that set how the dataset qualifier levels are treated in the FTP client: DIrectorymode Specifies that only the data set qualifier immediately below the current directory is treated as an entry in the directory. In directory mode, this qualifier is the only one used by the MPUT, MGET, LS, and DIR subcommands. DATASetmode Specifies that all the data set qualifiers below the current directory are treated as entries in the directory (disables DIRECTORYMODE). These correspond to the entries in the FTPDATA (server) TCPPARMS member DIRECTORYMODE parm here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=protocol-directorymode-ftp-client-server-statement Hope this helps The one thing that bugs me about Filezilla is how easy it is to click with the mouse and start a file transfer that may not be intended. Wish I could disable that.

Re: Setup Filezila for MF to PC transfers
The key setup item here is the Server Type. Filezilla supports MVS datasets quite well. link --- https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Site_Manager For MVS datasets the server type needs to be MVS and you need to define a Site for your host. Likewise you will need a separate Site for USS files. Use Server Type = Unix. With the MVS server type you will be able to access the MVS "DATASET" file system. HLQs and LLQs will be treated as directories to be traversed. Datasets should be specified in single quotes - like your HLQ of 'SYS1' for example.

Re: Setup Filezila for MF to PC transfers
Lizette, When setting up the site in site manager, click on the Advanced tab and set server type to MVS,OS/390, z/OS. Then specify the remote directory as your tso userid, in quotes.

Setup Filezila for MF to PC transfers
Dearest List I am hoping someone is using Filezila that can help me with a configuration issue. Everything is working well. Only challenge I have is getting FZ to use my TSOID for mainframe datasets. Currently it keeps using uss file names in the remote directory I have tried 'tsoid' 'tsoid.' tsoid tsoid. And other variations in remote directory. I am sure there is a trick I am missing. Each variation is met with unable to parse directory name If someone has FZ working for Mainframe datasets and could share the secret, That would be amazing. I have been through the PDF, and Wiki and all seem to indicate that FZ should be able to do this I am not sure if I need to set up a network drive to my mf or other actions Thanks for any guidance Lizette -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
