I was able to do this using the unusual FIFO facility of z/OS FTP,
performing the conversion with iconv(1). On z/OS:
user@HOST: cd /tmp/user
user@HOST: mkfifo utfpipe
user@HOST: ( cp "//'sys1.maclib(yregs)'" /dev/fd/1 |
iconv -f IBM-1047 -t UTF-8 > utfpipe ) &
(This might as well be done using a temporary file.)
Then on an OS X client (I rarely run FTP server on my desktop):
516 $ ftp user@mvs
220-FTPD1 IBM FTP CS V1R13 at LSTC3MVS.US.ORACLE.COM, 13:04:09 on
