okay, understand, FEK is the HLQ for zexplorer, but yes a sysprog would need to install it if not installed, configure and setup the security or have the secadmin do the security.

I don't that we have an SFEK* set of libraries on the system currently. 🙁 The documentation I've just now looked at seems to indicate this is part of IBM Developer/Rational Developer for z/OS. ________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Carmen Vitullo <cvitu...@hughes.net> Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2020 12:01 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> Subject: Re: Good FTP client for MVS data set access >From what I recall, I don't have any doc at home, the configuration is done >using the FEF.SFEKSAMP library for the RSED address space. the Unix part located in /usr/lpp/IBM/zexpl contains some environmental and configuration files it was not hard to setup and once the client is installed you get one view of your workstation MVS and USS files, TSO command window and a USS window to run scripts File 755 2020-02-20 11:49 CPV8281 1387 ISPF.conf File 755 2020-02-20 11:50 CPV8281 2916 process_audit.rex File 755 2020-02-20 11:50 CPV8281 2187 process_logon.sh File 755 2020-02-20 11:50 CPV8281 324 pushtoclient.properties File 755 2020-02-20 11:49 CPV8281 7844 rse.env File 755 2020-02-20 11:49 CPV8281 308 rsecomm.properties File 755 2020-02-20 11:50 CPV8281 294 ssl.properties Carmen Vitullo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Swarbrick" <frank.swarbr...@outlook.com> To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2020 12:52:18 PM Subject: Re: Good FTP client for MVS data set access Looks like some of this might be part of the "Remote System Explorer" perspective, which I don't see to have configured.

I know that z/OS Explorer uses FTP under the covers, but I've not seen it having a normal drag and drop style FTP GUI, or have I seen an ability to run shell scripts or TSO commands. Perhaps I'm overlooking some things. ________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Carmen Vitullo <cvitu...@hughes.net> Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2020 12:41 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> Subject: Re: Good FTP client for MVS data set access I've always liked the reflections FTP client, I've not been able to use any other client, but I am not starting to use IBM's Z/explorer , that GUI along with an MVS address space will get you MVS dataset, USS filesystem, local fileystems access plus the ability to run shell scripts, and tso command from the GUI moving or coping datasets can be done using a drag and drop.

Do you like it? I personally use the FTP Client that is part of Micro Focus (formerly Attachmate) Reflection Desktop for IBM (Reflection Workspace). Being an application suite dedicated to mainframe access (the application is primarily a TN3270 client), the FTP Client that goes along with it seems to truly understand the idiosyncrasies of MVS and works quite well with it. On the other hand, only a limited number of users in our shop are "authorized" to use Reflection, so they cannot use its FTP client. They are stuck (currently) with an MVS hostile (IMO) application called CuteFTP. Are there any good "freestanding" FTP GUI applications that are "MVS friendly"? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
