Is the 553 coming from the Windows FTP client? It might be assuming that the target MVS disk is FAT32 (hence the 4GB limit). If you haven't already tried it, is there any way you can try to retrieve the file using the MVS FTP client and a Windows FTP server? [You want to use the same client/server set-up that you used to send the file to Windows in the first place.]
