FTPS (FTP/TLS) can be tricky wrt implementation incompatibilities. There are a couple of other options:
1) Tunnel regular FTP in an SSH connection. This would require that the Windows server also run SSHD, but OpenSSH for Windows is free and very easy to setup. We have a free / open source Java SSH/FTP tunneling tool that you can run on z/OS or another host in your local network. See our website for details, or send me a note offline. 2) Use a Linux box as a file transfer gateway for z/OS. This can be setup with all free software in such a way so that everything is controlled from a z/OS batch job. MVS datasets can be transferred to any host without any data-at-rest on the Linux "appliance". The Linux "curl" command is a swiss army knife for all kinds of file transfer protocols (FTP/S, HTTP, SFTP, etc) and you can even script in file transformations such as compression, pgp, etc. For details, refer to an article that we wrote in the zJournal August/September 2008 issue, or send me an email offline and I'll forward you a copy.
