Comments:
-Java is not much of an issue these days. Not a drawback in my opinion.
-Personally I don't usually use or recommend FTP to transfer files to/from QSYS.LIB. I move the data to the IFS first or vice-versa then process.
-This addresses the original posters question of more secure FTP since you can lock to specific folder.
Feel free to use or ignore 😉

server on IBMi 7.1
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).
