Interesting.
I added the command (site listfmt 1) and it worked
So now we have solved the original issue and migrated to a better option
all in one day.
Wow that's progress.
For anyone following this thread here are the options for the listfmt ;
(LISTFMT 0 is the default)
LISTFMT 0
The FTP server returns information for the LIST subcommand in the IBM i
list format. The client on the IBM i platform supports both the IBM i
format and the UNIX format.
LISTFMT 1
The FTP server returns information for the LIST subcommand in the UNIX
style list format. The name of the file is the last item of each line
returned. The client on the System i® platform supports both the i5/OS
format and the UNIX style format.
LISTFMT
Return a message that indicates the current FTP server LISTFMT setting.
Thank you for your assistance :-)

Is there a way to invoke MLSD with standard FTP ?
I'm pretty sure WinSCP is trying to, so it's a matter of whether the
IBM i is allowing it to.
It's not clear to me whether IBM i supports it or not.
But, have you looked at this:
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_login_ftp
Specifically, have you tried putting
site listfmt 1
in the "Post login commands"?
I don't *think* that is the same thing as "supporting MLSD", but it's
conceivable to me that making the listing more like a Unix listing
might nudge LIST into working correctly.
To be clear (particularly to onlookers who haven't read or can't
remember the whole thread), I think SFTP is the better way to go
whenever it's available. (Or other SSH-using tools. SSHFS has been
mentioned, and I do recommend this.) Fortunately we've already
established that SFTP works for you. The continuing conversation about
FTP is partly academic curiosity, and partly for helping those who,
for whatever reason, might really need to connect via FTP.
