Well, since the one reason I can think of to download a mainframe load module is to upload it to a different mainframe, two accounts will be needed no matter what, so I think your first point is moot.
I believe, but haven't tried it, that z/OS FTP allows you to specify that one FTP server transfer files to a different FTP server, which might help in the above scenario. Your point about TRANSMIT, is still valid; although isn't this the case for anything requiring pre-processing before FTP (Zipping files, encrypting, etc.)?
