A little more info would be helpful. Are these 2 periods actually as such in the data? (I suspect not.) Are they perhaps unprintable data represented as periods in whatever you are using to display the data? If so they are not going to make it to the remote end unless you send it BIN or unless you specify your own translate table that makes them something meaningful to the remote end (in whatever code page it is using). By default the MVS FTP client and server assume character mode and will do EBCDIC/ASCII translation based on its default EBCDIC and ASCII code pages. (I don't remember which code pages and am too lazy to look it up right now. Others on the list probably have that info commited to memory.)
