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.

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? --Dave Day NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
