The # is invalid in a dataset name. There is an FTP command (SBDataconn) to tell FTP to perform a specific translation.

I can't get an FTP PUT to work with dataset names that contain a dollar sign (x'5B', which is the pound sign on the target system). Source system is z/OS, codepage IBM-500 Target system is z/OS, codepage IBM-285 FTP commands: TYPE E SITE ISPFSTATS PUT 'USERA.TSO.EXEC($TEST)' QUIT The output is: EZA1701I >>> STOR 'USERA.TSO.EXEC($TEST)' 501 Invalid data set name "''USERA.TSO.EXEC($TEST)'". Use MVS Dsname conventions. EZA1735I Std Return Code = 27501, Error Code = 00002 This happens with all dataset types and members, except for loadmodules, i.e. I can PUT load modules with lcd/cd/put even if they contain dollar signs in their name. Any clues?
