I think INFOPRINT has this capability. Another possibility is to use Unix LPR 
command to a z/OS UNIX LPR daemon. Another possibility is to send the file to 
z/OS and use your job schedular or automation to submit a job to print it. For 
security purposes, FTP is not recommended because userids/passwords get 
embedded in scripts. You gotta love developers who are proud of their code and 
distribute it as open source thru github. I saw a NASA script recently that had 
userid/password. Several possible solutions like setting up NFS daemon on z/OS 
UNIX avoid this situation for FTP.

If you are going to process the data, then put it to a dataset and let your job 
scheduler process it as it is created.

If you decide to go with USERID / PASSWORD, then think about security because 
this is an easy exposure. I would suggest use of secondary users with very 
restricted access. Remember most resources are readable.
