Hey @zFernand0 - I think this is a limitation of FTP! 👎

With IBM Explorer for z/OS, we added in z/OSMF support (well, Joe W did back in the day!) specifically so running job output could be viewed.

Thanks Dave! 🙏

In the meantime, we decided to handle this limitation by:

  1. Showing a warning/info message (on the zFTP extension) about the limitation
  2. Documenting the limitation in Using Zowe Explorer FTP Extension
