When using FTP or FTP-SSL you need to do ASCII file type not BINARY. This tells the sending side to convert the file to NVT ASCII that uses CRLF as the end of record marker. The receiver will then convert from NVT ASCII to it's native character set and to it's native end of record marker.
For Linux, or Unix, that is LF. To convert from LF to CRLF you can use the UNIX2DOS command. When z/OS, or z/VM, is involved the ASCII option also causes them to do translation between ASCII and EBCDIC as needed.
