Ouch!  Do you mean the pendrive reported no error, or that you got the
same CRC32 on the originating PC and the destination PC?

Windows is woefully deficient in checksum utilities.  One must install
one.  I use Cygwin.

But my suggestion was elliptical.  I should have mentioned the need to
use TRANSMIT with the OUTDSN option; FTP/SFTP/IND$FILE; then compare
checksums; then RECEIVE with the INDSN option.

Can TRANSMIT use IND$FILE for the TCP/IP challenged?  Can IND$FILE
transfer z/OS to z/OS?
