Out of curiosity, I have just tested my earlier suggestion of using DFDSS logical dump, to dump a zEDC compressed dataset. The resultant dump dataset is as small as the z/EDC compressed dataset, which is what i had anticipated. I then transferred it to another sysplex, restored it, and it appears to be readable in the original format. I was surprised that even though the dataclass used to compress on the first site, wasnt present on the remote site, that doesnt seem to matter.
Note that I DIDNT use FTP for this, which would require an intermediate terse/unterse to put the DFDSS dump into a format that FTP can cope with - although there may be alternative methods to do this of course.
