As always, it depends.  If you want to do this interactively just run this
from a command line:

FTP (your mainframe)
Enter login ID : (mainframe User ID)

You will see messages similar to these:   
331 Send password please.

230 USRPRF is logged on.  Working directory is "USRPRF.".            

The Working directory is the dataset that your transferred file will go
under unless you enclose it in three single quotes (''')  The three single
quotes indicate a named dataset outside of your working directory.

Enter an FTP subcommand.                                               
> put YOURLIB/YOURFILE '''PCDL.RUTKY01A'''   

The rest should go like this:
125 Storing data set PCDL.RUTKY01A                        
250 Transfer completed successfully.                                   
  1938 bytes transferred in 0.950 seconds. Transfer rate 2.040 KB/sec. 
Enter an FTP subcommand.                                               
> QUIT                                                                 
221 Quit command received. Goodbye.           

If you'd like to run this in batch you need to create a file with the user
ID/password and FTP commands in it the use OVRDBF     to override the FTP
INPUT & OUTPUT files.     

There are additional commands needed if you are trying to transfer binary or
packed decimal data.  Your can find more info on FTP commands in the TCP/IP
Configuration and Reference manual.

subject: FTPing from OS/400 to Mainframe

Hello,

I can't seem to find how to do this.  We have a file on the AS/400.  We want
to FTP it to a mainframe.  The file it has to FTP to, is pcdl.rutky01a .
How do we ftp a file from the AS/400 and get it to store in that file that
was created?
