Removing file extension when FTP to Mainframe PDS Dataset

[jsmithcol]

I'm trying to copy text files up to an IBM Mainframe into a PDS and I'm having a hard time getting the .txt extenstion off of the file when the file is FTP'd. Is there a way to get the extension off when you FTP the file?

Ditto here.

I'd like a checkbox option to ignore suffixes during transfer.

Filezilla does not handle the uploading of files with extensions to a PDS. The PDS member name must be 8 characters or less and must not contain a period. Filezilla does not seem to be aware of these restrictions. The simplest solution is for Filezilla to remove the extension and truncate the name to at most eight characters.

I'm having same issue here - all these years later.
I've found it easiest to rename the file on the PC, dropping the suffix, then transfer, then rename PC version back.
This method works, but it's a pain (are you sure you want to rename this file etc).

I have seen "Drop suffix to Mainframe Server" as a check box on another FTP Client
I've also seen where you can do a right click and one of the options is "transfer as", that's useful also
e.g. If you want to send a log up to the mainframe and call it Tuesday, its simple
A rename in flight.
It must be possible, because the syntax of the raw FTP command allows it
