I realise of course its a good thing but I know they are not keen on MFA mainly I think because some of them work in areas o.

I have had this message pop up for one of my old clients I still do support for and I am still the Admin for on their 365 system. Microsoft enforcing MFA in 365 in 12 days message Cloud Computing & SaaS.For the time being I just work around it with Filezilla. I just don't trust it for this task at this time. I can work around by creating a new parent directory and then copy-pasting the file tree between Explorer windows. (Granted, that interface has never made sense to me.) Something is badly wrong that I also can't get around by forcing it to re-apply the permissions. In some fashion corruption has creeped into the meta data and I start getting "Access denied." errors as Windows Explorer pushes a simple additive change in permissions down file tree.

That is until I start to work with permissions on parts of the extracted tree under Windows and editing permissions or pushing down AD groups. Not quite what scenario is the root cause or what really is going on, but the basic story is that I can create the archive, copy it and expand it without errors or noticable trouble the website. The one issue I have had with 7zip / Windows Zip is around the task of moving the file tree of a website between CentOS 7 and Windows Server 2016 (2008 R2, 2012 R2 also) or the other way around. I use 7zip across my servers because I can install it wherever I need it and it does much better compression than Windows Zip.

I use Windows built in zip when I send something to others - clients especially, or colleagues.
