I've never had an issue with FileZilla and IBM i. Even uploading binary
files, save files, etc.

It's just that sometimes I don't want to wait for a directory to load
before selecting the file to download. Sometimes that's just a waste of
time when I can go:

get LAPortal_2019-08-08-06.00.00.699000_out.zip

from a command line FTP interface.

When I set up a connection in WinSCP I go into the advance tab, FTP, and
then enter the start up commands I want, IE: “site namefmt 1”

That’s always worked thus far. WinSCP seems to be far easier than
FileZilla to get IBM i to cooperate with it. It’s also much easier to
get at the other protocols and set them up than FileZilla.

I've tried WinSCP and I can't seem to find the command entry. I see there
is an option but it's for running commands on the server. GET, etc don't
work.

I did figure out the issue. It was the Windows firewall for public
connections was on. In fact, I just verified that you need to turn off the
windows defender firewall and reconnect and things work great. I think
before I just turned it off while connected and assumed that wasn't it.

Well, at least I figured it out. I will dig more into WinSCP. Thanks.

I take it you mean you like the FTP client program, rather than the
FTP protocol.

You should have a look at WinSCP. It gives you the choice of GUI or
command-line. If you use the GUI, it feels a lot like FileZilla. The
command-line interface has `get` and `put` which both support
wildcards (and multiple files). So it's just as easy to use as
whatever FTP client you're used to, but it supports all the various
transport protocols.
