You sound like you know a lot more about this than me. I would happily accept this as a pr if you put the work in. If you are up for this it would be best to make it a separate connector to those found in /lib/connectors
As far as I can tell, the Atom remote-ftp package requires a Unix-style leading slash (/) on FTP file paths.
Unfortunately, that doesn't work for accessing MVS data sets on IBM z/OS (mainframes).
MVS data set names (dsnames) don't use a slash as a separator. Instead, dsnames consist of a sequence of qualifiers separated by periods. For example,
MYUID.PDS
is a dsname that consists of two qualifiers. A dsname might refer to a file or to a directory (in MVS terminology: a library, or partitioned data set).So, currently, there appears to be no way to access MVS data sets via remote-ftp.
I'd like to be able to specify the following setting in a
.ftpconfig
file:(the single quotes are significant)
in the same way that, in a command-line FTP client session (on Windows), I can specify:
resulting in:
I understand that you might not have access to a z/OS system to test this; I'd be happy to be a tester.
