RE: FTP stage?
I installed my z/VM 5.2 using a FTP image that I stored on a Linux (or
was it FreeBSD?) server.
When I say installed, I should add that I had to hack the REXX code
obfuscated in the filter package to make it work (if you look into the
module you'll soon find an entry point table; it is trivial to extract
the REXX programs from that). Whoever wrote that code has not read
RFC 959; or if read, certainly not understood.
I sent the hacked stages back to the lady who so kindly had provided
me with the image file. For all I know she tossed them. I have heard
no reports of improvement in those stages since then.

Steve Hayes wrote a FTP client stage some ten years ago; I do not know
whether it is floating around anywhere.

I beleive Romney's FTP subcommand processor is available from the
download page; I had to add code to CMS/COMMAND to tolerate it at some
point.
