Yes, it would be really nice if the ftp plugin would support the mainframe ftp server (MVS, OS/390, Z/OS). Unfortunately AFAIK the directory listings are completely different so it requires some work to support it. Until this is the case I use Filezilla 3 which runs under Windows and Linux and supports the MVS ftp server.

Speaking as the maintainer for FTP plugin, I don't plan to fix this because I don't use the FTP protocol often enough for it to be worth my time. (I only use SFTP). However, if someone else wants to submit a patch, I can accept it, but I can't test it unless the submitter gives me a server/account to test it on.
