Thank you.

When you right-click the file in the transfer queue and select Properties dialog what do you see in the Source path? A unix or MVS like path?

Mat

I see this:

/u/myersjj/6100269/build/zOS/dsmserv.odbc


Thank you.

Can you try it again with the newest version?
https://www.smartftp.com/download

If you have the opportunity please download a file from a non-HFS location as well.

Thank you
Mat

OK, I tried with the new version and it works fine for both USS and regular MVS files! Thanks!

I did notice one small nuisance: when install completes it asks if I want to start SmartFTP, so I clicked the box, then OK, then it tells me I have to reboot.

Thank you for your feedback.

>Setup
Yes the [x] Launch SmartFTP box should not be displayed when a restart is required.

Mat
