The key setup item here is the Server Type. Filezilla supports MVS datasets

For MVS datasets the server type needs to be MVS and you need to define a Site
for your host.
Likewise you will need a separate Site for USS files.
This list is dying just like assembler. Another 5, maybe 10 years, both will be

There needs to be an IBM-MAIN-NOSTALGIA list and these trips down memory lane
moved there when they start.
I was pretty much gone from IBM-MAIN over the last 2-3 years due to just being
too busy
to try and keep up but recently have tried to start following again.
At a guess, people from other parts of the world than the USA. They still
actively teach and use “old languages” in some places out there, so there is a
larger quantity of talent (though I could not say at what experience level).

I would first check with support about running it. I have had a number of
extended implementations for TSS things that were only cursorily tested due
to no interest in the user community. And while the process is
educational, it is not always simple.
