Check the load module attributes of the source library.  AFAIAA, ftp still 
doesn't handle scatter-load or page-aligned modules very well, but admittedly 
it has been a long time since I used ftp without XMIT/RECEIVE or TERSE/UNTERSE 
as others have suggested.  Other than those special attributes, as long as you 
are setting TYPE E, MODE B and have the DCB attributes on your target library 
the same as that of your source, ftp should work OK.

Another option, if you're feeling adventurous, is to use GIMZIP/GIMUNZIP to 
build an NTS package to ship across.  The interface requires some basic 
knowledge of XML, but it can handle PDS, PDSE, VSAM, and PS files, and can 
pre-allocate non-existing target datasets on the remote site.  A UNIX file 
system is required to stow the package, but SMP/E itself is not needed (i.e., 
no RECEIVE FROMNETWORK / FROMNTS) for non-SMP/E installable packages.  IOW, 
GIMZIP/GIMUNZIP can be directly invoked froim JCL.  Review the SMP/E books for 
details.
