Once in your FTP session (with as/400 being client) do the following ftp
subcommand: 

namefmt 1 

This sets up FTP to serve files out of the "open system format".  (If
AS/400 is server you can use quote site namefmt 1 instead)  


I would then switch to binary mode using the following ftp subcommand:  

bin  


And then serve the file/folder out of whatever directory you want, for
example:  

put /QOPENSYS/XYZSUBDIR/SENDFILEA  C:\FTPTST\SENDFILEA
