I have just done that. Works like a charm.  On the FTP command, where it asks 
for
the code page and provides *DFT you change it to 437 and it will work fine.  
Here's
a copy & paste of the CL:

 Columns . . . :    1  80                                      Browse
 SEU==>
 FMT **  ...+... 1 ...+... 2 ...+... 3 ...+... 4 ...+... 5 ...+... 6 ...+... 7 .
        *************** Beginning of data **************************************
0001.00              PGM
0002.00              OVRDBF     FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(BOOTH/QTEXT) MBR(FTPCMDS)
0003.00   /*         OVRDBF     FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(BOOTH) MBR(OUT)  */
0004.00              FTP        RMTSYS('204.121.227.20') CCSID(437)
0005.00              ENDPGM
        ****************** End of data *****************************************


(The file BOOTH/QTEXT FTPCMDS is a script file that I preload with the
instructions.  I have a whole little section on it; if you are interested in it 
I
will post it on my home page so you can see it and some screen shots.)
