Well, NFS will transfer only the data you actually use (in blocks read or 
written by the app), so there should be some advantage. Worst case, the 
transfer time for a full sequential read of the file is going to be comparable 
to FTP (and with NFS you have a whole bunch of advantages in terms of 
programmatic control of the transfer. FTP is a pain to automate; NFS is as easy 
as opening the file in the app). 

Another plus is that the z/OS NFS server is doing the actual I/O against the 
file, so there should be some trace information on the z/OS side to keep the 
auditors happy.
