If the file names are uppercased on z/OS, Linux will retain that.
You'll probably have to run a script to lower-case the names (if
desired).

Subject: z/OS ftp server / Linux client - lowercasing Linux file name on
MGET.
I crossposted this to the IBM TCP forum and Linux forum because I'm not
sure where the answer might be.
I am logged onto Linux. I want to download a number of z/OS datasets. I
do the following:
cd 'HLQ'
prompt
mget START.*

When the mget ends, the files on Linux are all upper case. I would
prefer them to be lower case. I get lower case, if I do:
ftp> get alltapes.oam
local: alltapes.oam remote: alltapes.oam
227 Entering Passive Mode (10,170,30,20,25,75)

It appears that the upper case is because the NLST issued in the "mget"
case returns the upper case name, as I guess it should. In the case
which works as I want, I get lower case because the z/OS ftp server
upper cases the legacy name, but the ftp client on Linux remembers the
lower case name.
Any ideas of an easy way to have lower case? Yes, I know how to lower
case the Linux file names after doing the ftp. I'm just lazy.
for i in [A-Z]*;do mv -n $i $(echo $i|tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]');done
I use the -n so that I don't accidently overwrite an existing file.
