Yes, but this is what I want to avoid.
Why?
1. I don't want to modify source.
2. I don't want to make a copy and then modify.
3. I hope such need is quite common and it can be solved using some FTP
commands/parameters.
4. (last but not least) Assuming the 3. I guess there are more
interesting "rename features", which can help in other cases.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] FTP to z/OS PDS - filename extensions
The following scenario:
Windows system, many (dozens) files in a directory. Filenames:
MEMBER.txt
Obviously the MEMBER is unique for each file, however each name is
"valid 8-character" like member name.
The goal is to PUT them to a PDS, preserving filename as a member name
and loosing the txt extension.
However regular MPUT * does not work, because FILE.txt is not proper
member name.
Of course I can rename the files before transfer, but maybe there is a
way to include name translation into PUT/MPUT command?
