Not possible with standard Windows because it don't come with a FTP
server. 

Initiation and control of FTP always comes from the client. Therefore,
your z/os job would run as a client (see FTPCDATA) and you'd need a FTP
server on Windows. 

It follows that you'd need logon credentials for the server. Not sure if
it is current information, but once upon a time auditors frowned on
running FTP server software on ordinary desktops.

Subject: MVS initiated FTP to Windows

    I would like to be able to kick off an FTP of a dataset to a Windows
platform from MVS.  All of the info I can come up with talks about how
to perform this from the Windows side.  Windows initiated receive.  I
want to do this from the MVS side.  When the file(s) are ready, send
them down to the PC.  Not when the file(s) are ready, go over to the PC,
and run FTP from there to receive the file(s).   Is this possible?  Is
there anything like an FTP daemon that can run on Windows to receive the
data and put it in the desired location?
