But does your FTP server on z/OS allow you to use GET from a tape device? Tape allocations are sometimes not permitted from an active server address space so as not to hold up production work using the same server.
Just a possible roadblock, not a given, depends on your setup.

I use that method all of the time, for transferring mainframe data between mainframe systems, that have an intervening non-mainframe repository.
