I do this all the time, XMIT to a file, FTP down to a server (remember use
BINARY), FTP back up to a mainframe (remember to use BINARY, LRECL(80) and
RECFM(FB) and then receive. Sometimes I have to do a lot of datasets so a
quick and dirty rexx which runs in batch and uses a PDS member as input:

suffix = '.XMIT'
