In the description of the FTP SITE subcommand in:

z/OS Communications Server: IP User's Guide and Commands
SC27-3662-00 
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.halu001/site.htm
z/OS V2R1>z/OS Communications Server>z/OS Communications Server: IP User's 
Guide and Commands>FTP subcommands>SIte subcommand-Send site-specific 
information to a host

I find:
length
    Specifies the logical record length of a newly allocated data set. The 
valid range is
    0—32760. A special value of x (LRecl=x) is also supported to indicate that 
a logical
    record length can exceed 32760 for variable-length spanned records. 

So apparently FTP supports transfer of RECFM=VBS,LRECL=X.  I'll need to try
it.  And maybe submit an RCF requesting an example.

IBM's implementation of FTP is horrendously complicated.  Kinda like z/OS
data management.
