This question is more appropriate for the FTPAPI mailing list,
http://www.scottklement.com/ftpapi/ftpapilist.html

One quick tip, though... the IBM FTP client defaults to passive mode,
whereas FTPAPI defaults to standard mode.  You might try enabling passive
mode with callp FTP_passiv(*ON) to see if that helps.

Please send any followups to the FTPAPI mailing list.  Thanks!
