    I want to perform a get from MVS.
    The FTP server is Win2000 server.
    The files are ascii text and need to be converted into ebcdic.
    The option 'ASCII' in ftp works, but the resulting file contains invalid
    characters. Also, every character is preceeded by a blank.

    Someone have an idea how to set a correct transfer?
    I know that a PUT from Windows works fine, but I do want to perform a get from MVS.

    Thank you for your help.

    Serge B.
