Does the FTP server have such as a SITE CHTAG command?
Will FTP automatically tag a file to the value
Radoslaw asked about default translate tables for FTP. My earlier thread titled
"FTP problem", here and MVS-OE, seems related.

There seems to be confusion about what Base64 (jeez, I keep typing "54" or
"65"!) encoding is. It's just what it sounds like: an

8-bit characters whether ASCII or EBCD
