Filezilla SFTP GUI
Filezilla SFTP GUI
Does the Filezilla GUI allow for the SFTP of file to/from MVS datasets? Also, If yes, how do I display the MVS file structure. For WinSCP I can select Open directory //sys1.
I was aware of WinSCP's support of the sftp protocol, but I didn't know about Filezilla (I thought that it was FTP only).
I tried Filezilla, and it doesn't seem to work with Co:Z SFTP when using z/OS datasets.
We follow the sftp specs, but sometimes an SFTP client will make assumptions that prevent it from working. For example, some of the fields in file status response packets are optional and we don't return them for a dataset (since they don't apply), but I have seen clients that don't work properly without them.
All is not lost, though. Since FileZilla is an open source tool, we should be able to look at it and if we can figure out what is wrong submit patches to try to get it corrected. I can't promise when we would get to this, but we are interested in getting it fixed.
Thanks for letting us know.
