I use the z/OS remote system, for me, it gives me everything I need, JES, mainframe datasets, and USS, TSO, and limited ISPF for 2.1 and 2.2 the client side worked the same for me.

Hi All, I am re-installing z/OS and CICS Explorer on a new PC today, and there are three choices for connection to our z/OS system: z/OS FTP z/OS Remote System z/OSMF I know the limitations of the FTP connection (our FTP does not let us use JES level 2) and the last time I installed the Explorer software it was on a Win7 machine and I used the Remote System connection that time. It worked pretty well for the limited functionality I was using at the time. Since I am re-installing on a new Win10 machine I want to ask what the pros and cons of RSE vs OSMF are and pick the one that will be best going forward. If it matters, our z/OS level is V2.1, heading towards V2.2 but not real soon. TIA for any information or advice you can provide.
