There are two different ways. If you're transferring files between two
z/OS systems, then you can FTP the data set with a member name of *,
e.g., my.dsn(*), with the proper options. Read up on the SITE command
of FTP.
OTOH, if you have an NJE connection then you may find it more
convenient to use XMIT.

You don't say what operating system you have on your PC or whether you
need to deal with firewall issues. In general, you need to go into an
FTP client on either the PC or z/OS, change the local and remote
working directories, then do a get or put with a wildcard. Don't try
it with a load library.
OTOH, you can use WSA instead of FTP, connectivity permitting.
If you're looking at FTP as part of an automated procedure, you might
also consider scripting it in Perl, which has an FTP interface.
