And I'll ask again: ...and the problem with ordering PTFs via IBMLink is? I.e. If IBMLink works for you, what's the specific reason for using shopzSeries?

To be sure, if given the address of the shopzSeries FTP site and an id and password I could use, then we would only have been naming conventions away from the same type of delivery. Instead, the only two choices provided (DownloadDirector or HTTPS) both were for download to the PC and subsequent upload to the VM system. The means to transfer the files directly to the target system without any intermediaries is much nicer and, as a bonus, less error prone.
