Just to finish my interest in this issue for the time being. Over on IBMTCP-L, I learned that Bluezone's free FTP client works with z/OS native SSL FTP. This is "good enough" for us now. I still think that requiring configuring and activating Policy Agent so that AT-TLS can be used is not the best answer from IBM on this issue, but I have higher priority work to do RIGHT now. I also think that the FileZilla strict adherence to a revised RFC clause, without providing an option to turn it off, is shortsighted, verging on excessive open-source arrogance. But, again, my users can again do their job, I have an OS upgrade to do, and we will now tell folks about the Bluezone client.
