This is great to hear, John. Thanks.

For people like me, who need excruciating clarity, you're saying that the SERVER in the Co:Z product groks traditional datasets as well as USS files. Correct? Fantastic! That means one can use a variety of clients, specifically several which go via SSH. Is that also correct?

You mention SFTP which is FTP-like behavior using SSH under the covers.
Contrast with FTPS which is traditional FTP but with SSL/TLS added.
I'm keen on the former because it uses a single channel. Though I much prefer a one-shot command in any case, and 'scp' does that (and runs via SSH like 'sftp').

Does the Co:Z server speak both SSH (for SFTP) and traditional FTP?

I use sftp  with Co:Z SFTP installed on the z/OS side.  It allows access to 
z/OS files as well as OMVS files.  Where as OpenSSH on z/OS only allows access 
to OMVS files.

Under Windows you can use WSL, Putty, Cygwin, or any other CLI sftp product.  I 
use Cygwin most of the time.

Hello All,

I work in a secure government environment and moving files up and down from the 
mainframe (especially traditional ZOS datasets) is a 'xxxx' pita with Winscp 
and everything I read (including IBMMAIN archives) is that tool is just plain 
dumb when it comes to datasets with standard ZOS HLQ's.  I'm trying to do a 
non-scientific poll - what is the preferred FTP client to run on Windows 
platform out there everyone is using that you are happy with and can easily 
navigate to either traditional ZOS HLQ dataset or Unix System Services files.  
Of course freeware is preferred if user friendly.

I know there is Filezilla but not sure it is much better than Winscp?

Thanks for everyone's thoughts and input.
