There's another command, EBCDIC, that is an AS/400 extension to the standard FTP command set. I don't THINK that it preserves file structure, though that'd be a nice touch, as you say, especially since it IS AS/400-specific already (or IBM-specific). Seems that the main use of this is to avoid EBCDIC-ASCII/ASCII-EBCDIC conversions between EBCDIC-aware systems. Problems arise with CCSIDs, though.
