The problem I have is on the z/OS side at least, it's gonna wanna do ascii/ebcdic translations of files. This of course id fatal for anything not an HTML or other text based format.
I did publish the thing locally, but the very ancient version of ws_ftp we have here doesn't seem to have a method for saying what file extensions to translate and what not to. I suspect there's a table like that for z/OS ftp but I'm not the person who maintains it.

I know I could never get it to work from my home PC to my webpage provider, so I use WS_FTp to upload my webpages.

I am being 'blessed' with Microsfot Frontpage 2003 to use to do HTML stuff. (Officially Sanctioned tool here) I have to publish it to both a Linux instance and a z/OS image. The Linux instance will eventually live on an intel VM thing. Anyway.... The thing is, I can't get the blasted thing to publish via FTP to z/OS - it's trying to use the ftp:// web browser protocol instead of a real FTP session. if I tell it to try ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path it fails to detect the already created folder and then bitches about it cant find a server at '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. The fact that it is not seeing a folder that should be there tells me it never gets to the HFS and is not handling an internal error correctly. I have not yet tried to get it to talk to Linux but that looks like at the very least it's going to require Frontpage extensions or WebDav. Neither of which I think will fly. Way back in the day, I used FP 98 (again that's what was sanctioned, regardless of how lousy a product it is) back in the day, and that invoked a real FTP conversation irrespective of there being a web server involved. Is there any way to get FP 2003 to just DO what I want it to do? If not, is there an open source publishing solution I can run on Linux on intel? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
