Peter's answers give an outline of transferring AFP (MO:DCA) data streams. Since AFP is a binary dat stream, it is not limited to z/OS file systems and can be sent as a binary file to any other system.
If you have a number of files you need to send, you may find IBM AFP Download Plus will save you time and effort, since it behaves much like PSF but transmits files (converted to MO:DCA if created as line data) along with all the necessary resources. Since it works like PSF, simply submitting the job sends the file. Your outsourcer can tell you if they are able to accept Download-format files. Otherwise, using ACIF, which will require JCL for each different job, is the best solution. I will send you separately some instructions that are too long to include here.
