Hello Richard,

This could make a great free FTP replacement server for the IBMi when you need more secure FTP without all the exit program fuss and may just meet your needs for on-prem FTP on the IBMi.

As cons, please keep in mind:
- Java Solution takes considerably more resources than a native application,
- Cross platform solution isn't able to provide the special functions, the IBM FTP server does (NAMEFMT, RCMD, etc.).
- I didn't check how it behaves in terms of EBCDIC and ASCII text translation (for source members).

:wq! PoC
