Thanks for the MOVEit Freely suggestion, but it doesn't actually work in passive mode with our z/OS communications server.
MOVEit Freely is sending command PASV. The server returns: 227 Entering Passive Mode (128,212,110,33,238,85) Which results in a MOVEit error: Invalid response to PASV. However, FileZilla is issuing the same PASV command, and getting back a similar response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (128,212,110,33,238,127) Which FileZilla accepts. So I still maintain that there are NO free command line FTP clients for Windows* that support passive mode AND work with the MVS file system. PROVE ME WRONG, I beg you. * installing the Linux subsystem is cheating! -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Charles Mills Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2023 6:50 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Preferred FTP Client for Windows Au contraire: https://www.ipswitch.com/resources/free-tools/moveit-freely There is no need for any client to have any special cognizance of the file system at the server end. I am sure whoever wrote the Windows command line FTP had zero knowledge of z/OS data sets, but it works just fine, as @Bob Bridges attests. And yes, I have used the above product extensively with MVS files. Charles On Wed, 26 Jul 2023 22:32:41 +0000, Schmitt, Michael <michael.schm...@dxc.com> wrote: >FileZilla for GUI.
