It shows IBM-424 Hebrew code page.
Yes. It's an EBCDIC code page
What is most interesting to me, is the that the code page appears to be a
single byte character set (SBCS) and not a multi-byte character set (MBCS), but
the message posted by the OP indicated that ftp thought that it was multi-byte.
No. The _target_ was UTF-8, which is a multi-byte character set.
Hebrew doesn't seem to be in UTF-8, looking here:
http://www.utf8-chartable.de/
That just shows the first page of UTF-8; if you follow the "Next page" links
until you get to "page with code points U+0500 to U+05FF" you will see the
UTF-8 values for Hebrew (need to scroll down a bit).
Unicode for Hebrew looks to be here:
http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/hebrew.html and is definitely MBCS, or perhaps
DBCS
(double byte character set) is better.
Careful. DBCS is a special IBM mapping, not really reflected in Unicode. Better
to say Hebrew in Unicode is a MBCS.
None of which explains why the OP is having a problem since the conversion
would be from a single byte character set on z/OS to a multibyte character
set (Unicode) on Windows.
The problem was the OP defined the target as (or it was implied to be) FB;
FTP saw an attempt to translate from a FB single byte EBCDIC code page to
a FB multi-byte Unicode code page, but basically decided that's not
allowed.
