Are you logging on to the same z/OS system in both cases? It's possible that your logging on to two different z/OS systems and that /u/ts0sxe/Java17/ is not the same ZFS file on both. Although /u is typically auto mount for your home directory.
It's also possible that you have a FTP server exit that is doing something with the file after the upload completes.
