If the z/OS® Communications Server is installed on a remote system, you can ftp files directly into that file system.

Tip: If you are ftp-ing to a remote z/OS UNIX file system, be aware that the z/OS UNIX server often listens to a port other than the well-known port. Make sure you know the address and port to use.

If you are not using the Network File System feature and the z/OS Communications Server is not installed, perform these steps:

1. Transfer the data to the host, using your preferred method (for example, FTP).
2. While logged on to TSO/E, copy the data from an MVS™ data set into the file system, using the TSO/E OPUT command.

   Single-byte data: If you need to convert to a shell-supported code page, use the CONVERT option on the OPUT command. See Using OPUT.

   Double-byte data or multibyte ASCII-based data: If you need to convert to a shell-supported code page, use the z/OS C/C++iconv utility (while working in MVS) or the iconv shell utility (while working in the shell). For more information, see Copying data: Code page conversion.

3. If you want, you can delete the MVS data set after the copy with the TSO/E DELETE command.
