You might try sftp - even if you don't have the Dovetail Co:Z Toolkit for z/OS 
access you can still sftp to your omvs filesystem and then use OGET or cp to 
copy into z/OS datasets.  That is 100% secure.

Subject: Re: Is z/OS FTP encrypted?

The OP was just asking a casual question, and as soon as he heard that z/OS FTP 
isn't encrypted by default he went on to other matters.  I've been following 
the subsequent conversation but for now I'm just gritting my teeth and using 
IND$FILE, which is what everyone else at that installation seems to do anyway.

Did the OP ever confirm that sftp was not an option?
