I hadn't considered curl. It does exist on z/OS, although as you pointed out, that's not important now. wget does not exist on z/OS. I don't like coding the user/password into the command, however. I guess that I could read the ~/.netrc to get the information.
Also, just for learning, I'm considering replacing the entire script with a Python program. It can do ftp using ftplib. I could also use it to upload the results back to z/OS. And Python has a class which reads the .netrc file as well. Thanks for the idea.
