So far, these are the only two methods we document because we have not had a
request for any other method.
If customers want to do it another way, they are probably smart enough to

Must it be a Windows PC? Other OSes such as MacOS, Linux, Solaris, and z/OS

We only have two methods of distribution available.
1. FTP a zip file to a Windows PC and upload the files to the mainframe.
2. FTP the tersed file directly to the mainframe.
If customers get the tersed file to the mainframe any other way, we are not
aware of it.

I realized that I never posted my solution.
I ended up writing a Windows PowerShell script. It does some verification of
data in a file that contains upload information such as destination IP address
and userid, etc. Then it displays a window prompting for any required items not

PMFJI here, but that is simply not true of Win 10 FTP in my experience.

Thanks for the responses.
I did receive an explanation that OPTS UTF8 ON is not the problem. The Windows
