Not entirely true. In days of yore, from an MVS server and a desktop client,
I have done such as:
binary
quote site type e
quote site mode b
MVS encapsulates the data by its conventions and the desktop sees a
simple "stream of bytes". Reversing the process with a "put" with a diffenent
MVS server and the desktop client correctly reconstitutes the data. Or, a
desktop filter could be written to decode the data stream.
Likewise, the WUSTL FTP server performed conversions on-the-fly, such
as zipping a directory.
z/OS could do better than it does, such as AMATERSE on-the-fly with a SITE
command.
Do the Dovetailed or Rocket products do something similar?
