You need to enter the SENDSITE command. This prevents the defaults from taking over.

I'm trying to FTP in binary a fixed reclen 80 file to another z/VM host system. Here's part of the log: bin >>>TYPE i 200 Representation type is IMAGE. Command: quote site fix 80 >>>site fix 80 200 Site command was accepted. Command: put l10200.vmarc >>>SITE VARrecfm <<===== This is supplied by z/VM 200 Site command was accepted. >>>PORT 10,4,23,2,87,217 200 Port request OK. >>>STOR l10200.vmarc As soon as I enter the "put" command, a SITE VARrecfm command is supplied by z/VM and the file ends up as VARIABLE on the remote side. I'm trying to FTP binary and get FIXED on both sides. If I download to a PC and then FTP back up to the remote z/VM, I don't see this problem because my Windows FTP doesn't "invent" a SITE VARrecfm command. Your suggestions/input would be appreciated.
