RE: File transfer from AS/400 to MVS

It's only been a year or so for me, so I'll rack the brain and try to
remember...

The syntax is odd.  I found that oftentimes I needed to use double quotes.
For example, to transfer file MYLIB/UPLOAD to MVS file a.b.c.d.g0012v00, I
did the following

FTP MVS
<login...>
CD "'A.B.C.D'"  <-- NOTE THE DOUBLE QUOTE AND THEN THE SINGLE QUOTE
BIN
PUT MYLIB/UPLOAD G0012V00
QUIT

You need a double quote followed by a single quote, followed by the path,
then single then double.

Or,  I think you could 

PUT MYLIB/UPLOAD "'A.B.C.D.G0012V00'"

It's been close to 10 years since I ran into this so I don't recall details;
but Scott's suggestion matches closely with what I remember. There was an
oddity with how MVS FTP saw dataset names, at least from an AS/400 for some
reason, and adding the correct single-quotes fixed it. The MVS guys I had to
work with seemed to know about it once they dug deep enough.
