Make z/VM TCPIP FTP server RFC 3659 compliant

We've recently implemented z/VM 7.1 after being away from z/VM for many, many years. During the setup and installation we tailored TCPIP and specifically the FTP server but discovered that it is not compatible with GUI FTP clients like the FileZil...

Ignore invalid entries in the AUTOMOUNT policy and activate the policy with valid entries.

We've had a directory in our automount policy that did not actually exist for some time and it has not had any ill effects from IPL to IPL of lpars in the sysplex. This past weekend we had a sysplex outage and the unallocated directory prevented t...

z/VM TCPIP utilities (PING FTP TELNET TRACERTE) use the first address returned from a DNS server. This may be an IPV6 address - if the originating system is only IPV4 the result is "EDC8118I Network is unreachable". This can be bypassed by using the ADDRTYPE arg but we would prefer smarter DNS lookup. z/OS and zLinux handle this without using ADDRTYPE.

See "Your idea".

Remove 1000 REST request restriction for one zosmf TSO adress space

Support creating PDSE V2 data sets in FTP Server SITE and Client LOCSITE command

Much to my chagrin, I found that I could not create a PDSE V2 data set using the available parameters in the SITE command, rather only a PDSE V1. I had to use the rather roundabout way of using DFDSS unload, FTP the unload file, then DFDSS reload.
