I installed SmartFTP V.2.0.997 today (free version). My main purpose is to test if this tool is usable for rollout in z/OS environments with SSL/TLS and client certificates. Tests in this respect are very positive since SmartFTP is supporting the MSCAPI. Certificates in the Windows Certificate database and certificates on USB tokens can be used directly without further effort.
After searching the forum, I found out that switching between HFS directories and MVS data sets is possible via the CWD command, not directly through the panel fields. This is not very usable. I doubt that a large installation with hundreds or thousands of users would accept this, it would give the helpdesk people lots of grief.
The directory listing of HFS files is not correct. Here is an example of the raw listing:
The file "ldap.db2.profile" is not diaplayed correctly in the directory listing, the file name is replaced by the permission bits and the file length is displayed as zero. I have a screen shot of the directory listing window but don't know how I could attach it here. I can send it as an e-mail if you can give me an address to send to. This is the relevant part of the log file:

[13:52:17] CWD /u/ldap
[13:52:17] 250 HFS directory /u/ldap is the current working directory

It is rather conspicuous that the incorrectly displayed file is the first one in the listing, so I checked another directory. Again, the first file in the raw directory listing is listed incorrectly, the permission bits are listed, not the file name:
I can also send a screen shot of the SmartFTP window for this listing. The relevant part of the log file looks like this:

Your help is highly appreciated.
